DJ Lagway releases statement to Gator Nation, signaling the end of an era in Gainesville
DJ Lagway did what his head coach Billy Napier couldn’t do: release a statement thanking the Florida Gators and their fans.
News broke on Monday morning that Florida Gators quarterback DJ Lagway is set to enter the transfer portal.
It’s somewhat of a surprise and not a surprise at all that Lagway is choosing to enter the transfer portal. He was very committed to Billy Napier when he was the head coach, and with him now the head coach of the James Madison Dukes, it makes sense that he wants a change.
DJ Lagway releases statement thanking Gator nation
Unlike his head coach, Napier, Lagway released a statement of his intentions to enter the transfer portal.
“Dear Gator family,
“First and foremost, I want to thank God for every blessing he has placed over my life. I am truly grateful for the opportunity to have been part of such an incredible program here at the University of Florida.
“To my family – Your unwavering support means the world to me. I would not be the man or the athlete I am today without your love, guidance, and sacrifice.
“To my friends and teammates – Thank you for the brotherhood, the memories, and the bonds we’ve built over these past two years. I will carry those moments with me for a lifetime.
“To my coaches, the athletic training staff, and every member of the University of Florida community – Thank you for pouring into me, believing in me, and showing me nothing but love and support throughout my time in Gainesville.
“After much prayer, reflection, and thoughtful consideration, I have decided to enter the transfer portal.
“With gratitude,
DJ Lagway”
It took less than an hour for Lagway to release a statement about the matter, including thanking the staff and fanbase, something Napier never did. Where the Gators go from here will be interesting to monitor, as we will do the same with other quarterbacks who could enter the transfer portal in the coming days.
