Lagway, the former top QB recruit out of Willis (Texas), has been the steady hand in Gainesville since starter Graham Mertz suffered a torn ACL in Week 7's loss against Tennessee. He guided the Gators back to an overtime loss in Knoxville thanks to a 27-yard touchdown pass to Chimere Dike with less than 30 seconds remaining.

Jones de-committed from struggling Florida State last Thursday. The QB was in attendance for Florida’s big victory over LSU in Week 12 before announcing his flip on Sunday. Miami, UCF, and Louisville were among other teams that had an interest in the dynamic QB prospect.

The Florida Gators cruised to a 26-17 win over the LSU Tigers Saturday in Gainesville, securing a signature win for head coach Billy Napier and pulling the Gators to just one game shy of bowl eligibility at 5-5.

Mandarin quarterback who had been on board and committed to Florida State since the spring of 2023, has flipped said pledge to Billy Napier and the Florida Gators. The announcement came over the weekend after Jones took in Gainesville for an official visit.
