Want to talk about the DJ Lagway hype? On3’s Andy Staples released his SEC quarterback rankings. And in that list, the former 5-star quarterback has been placed at the best spot among his competitors in the SEC conference. Lagway was ranked ahead of LSU’s Garrett Nussmeier, South Carolina’s LaNorris Sellers, and Texas’s Arch Manning. The Florida quarterback reeled in some more praise from Gators alumnus Chris Doering.
For DJ Lagway, I look at this guy, he is the real deal,” said Doering. So, it’s obvious that Lagway has now turned into an attention magnet. Right now, Billy Napier’s quarterback is looking to take a step forward in 2025 as the Gators’ full-time starter. But before that, he made the most use of the off-season, thriving in the NIL space, bolstering his portfolio by adding another high-profile deal.
The Gators quarterback signed an NIL deal with T-Mobile. But who would have thought that it would come with a bonus for both Lagway and Florida fans? After wrapping up an impressive freshman season at Florida, it was a dream-come-true moment for Lagway. The quarterback filmed a commercial with Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and former NFL star tight end Rob Gronkowski as part of the partnership. The video got released on Thursday, July 24. After this,David Soderquist tweeted a clip of the shoot with the caption, “DJ Lagway filming T-Mobile commercial with Rob Gronkowski and Patrick Mahomes per T-mobile IG.” This ad shoot is part of a special initiative.
As On3 reported, the ad is part of T-Mobile’s “Beyond The Game” campaign. It features the three stars reflecting on the impact of high school football. With his latest NIL deal, Lagway’s NIL valuation now sits at $3.7 million ahead of his sophomore season.
