Friday Night Highlights: 5-star QB DJ Lagway goes off for 8 touchdowns

One of the top dual-threat quarterbacks in the country started his 2023 season with a bang last night.

Willis (Texas) five-star quarterback DJ Lagway went off for eight touchdowns in his team’s 52-21 victory on the road over Rudder (Texas) on Friday. Lagway (6-foot-2, 225 pounds) finished with a line of 21/23 for 436 yards, eight touchdowns (7 passing, 1 rushing) and a QB rate of 169.8. What’s more impressive is that Lawgay’s stat line was all in one half.

Here are some highlights.

The biggest beneficiary of Lagway’s huge game was Wildcats wide receiver Debruan Hampton, who posted five catches, 121 yards and scored three times. Next week Willis will face Temple (Texas) at home on Friday night.

As for next season, Lagway is committed to Florida and is the third-best recruit in a loaded 2024 class that currently ranks third in the nation.
