Florida’s DJ Lagway is entering the transfer portal next month after two seasons with the Gators, he announced Monday.
The sophomore passer was a five-star recruit in former coach Billy Napier’s 2024 signing class, ranked as the No. 1 quarterback and No. 3 overall prospect by 247Sports.
Lagway completed 63.2% of his passes for 2,264 yards with 16 touchdowns and an SEC-high 14 interceptions in 12 games this season for the 4-8 Gators. He directed a win against then-No. 9 Texas on Oct. 4 but finished 1-6 against ranked opponents.
“I am truly grateful for the opportunity to have been part of such an incredible program here at the University of Florida,” Lagway posted on Instagram. “After much prayer, reflection, and thoughtful consideration, I have decided to enter the transfer portal.”
The 6-foot-3 quarterback’s two-year totals included 4,179 passing yards with 28 touchdowns and 23 picks in 24 games. Lagway went 6-1 as a starter as a true freshman in 2024, including wins against LSU, Ole Miss, Florida State and Tulane in the Gasparilla Bowl.
Florida fired Napier after a 3-4 start and hired former Tulane head coach Jon Sumrall to take over the program on Nov. 30.
The transfer portal opens Jan. 2 and players have until Jan. 16 to submit their names. Players competing in the College Football Playoff final will have an extended window from Jan. 20-24.
–Nebraska quarterback Dylan Raiola is set to enter the transfer portal, according to multiple media reports Monday.
Raiola has not played since suffering a broken fibula in the Cornhuskers’ 21-17 loss to Southern California on Nov. 1. The injury ended his season but is not expected to prevent him from being ready to play at the start of next season.
In his second season with the Cornhuskers, Raiola completed 72.4% of his passes for 2,000 yards, 18 touchdowns and six interceptions.
Rumors of a Raiola departure from Nebraska started swirling in late November when his younger brother, three-star quarterback Dayton, decommitted from Nebraska’s 2026 class. His uncle, offensive line coach Donovan Raiola, was fired by Nebraska on Dec. 6.
The father of Dylan and Dayton is former NFL offensive lineman Dominic Raiola, an All-American and Nebraska Football Hall of Fame inductee.
–Michigan State quarterback Aidan Chiles will enter the portal after two seasons with the Spartans, he confirmed to ESPN.
A junior with one year of eligibility remaining, Chiles began his career at Oregon State and has played in 30 games with the Spartans (2024-25) and Beavers (2023).
Chiles has completed 61.3% of his passes for 4,116 yards with 27 touchdowns and 14 interceptions. He has rushed for 531 yards and 12 scores.
Chiles enjoyed one of his best games in 2025 against current No. 1 Indiana, completing 27 of 33 passes for 243 yards and one TD in Michigan State’s 38-13 loss on Oct. 18 in Bloomington, Ind.
–Cincinnati quarterback Brendan Sorsby announced his intention to enter the transfer portal.
Sorsby has one season of eligibility remaining and could also enter the NFL draft instead of returning to college. He won’t play in Cincinnati’s bowl game against Navy, ESPN reported.
Sorsby spent 2022 and 2023 at Indiana and made seven starts for the Hoosiers as a redshirt freshman in 2023. At Cincinnati, he’s compiled 5,613 passing yards, 45 touchdowns and only 12 interceptions plus 1,027 rushing yards and 18 TDs over 24 games.
A return to Indiana could be in the cards. The Hoosiers developed Cal transfer Fernando Mendoza into a Heisman Trophy winner and Mendoza’s collegiate career will last till the end of No. 1 Indiana’s run in the College Football Playoff.
