I see a Heisman Trophy and statue next to Spurrier, Wuerfel & Tebow going up. Add this guy to a top 10 recruiting class and Gators are on there way back.
You can see the growth in pocket presence and awareness throughout the highlights. He had a tendency early in the season to bail on a clean pocket, but not later in the season. Progression!
@@stefanodenton1900 hopefully he can persuade some other recruits to end up at UF instead of UGA. Lol I think this kid will change the game for UF in the coming years
Great reel, many thanks for putting this up. DJ Lagway has difference maker written all over him. I hope it all comes together for him sooner rather than later. GG!
It's interesting, a lot of his throws seem like "bad mechanics," but they really look like those gamer-mode Mahomes type of reaction throws when his body sees an open receiver and just wants to release the ball as quickly as possible.
@@coreyparker4320at least if we go undefeated we will get into the championship no doubt, your schedule is so soft every year that they picked the PAC 12 over you😂😂😂😂🤡
What I like is when his first read is covered, he still looks to throw the ball instead of taking off. This is difficult for a dual threat QB to learn. It's also obvious he's a man playing with boys. Lets see how he looks at the next level but all the signs point to Heisman. Thanks for the Video!
Hopefully the gators get few 5 star OL to protect lagway imagine DJ with a clen pocket and time execute the play this kid is absolutely dangerous.. most these highlights his o line gives him no time and still did amazing this kid future Heisman trophy winner in my opinion gators by a million
@@G_GO0NO At least he signed. Maybe he's gone in 1 year or maybe he needs 3 to develop into an NFL QB. Whatever. I forgot how fast the landscape of college football has changed.
Looks good. Word of caution though. He looks awfully thick for a HS Senior. Hopefully not, but there is a danger of this evolving into a JaMarcus Russell situation. Most guys gain 20-30 lbs between 18 and 22, so he will have to really work to keep his weight down.
This dude is very similar to Jayden Daniels. Definitely a more accurate passer than Anthony Richardson but probably not as athletic. Should be a really good QB for my Gators!
His strides are too long to be an explosive runner in the nfl, he won’t be able to get to top speed in time. He better be a prolific passer if he wants to be top 5 draft pick material.
He’s coming to Florida he’s had his mind made up since 9th grade he’s also signed and was at UF over the weekend and did the pledge he’ll be a gator lol if you can’t see that I’m sorry
Arm talent and throwing motion are two completely different things his arm talent is is very high and also his mechanics are not close to as bad as tebows
@@johntrucano8186 Believe what you want. He needs serious work and it's hard to get out of bad habits this late. His arm is not very strong and he lacks mechanics. He may be serviceable but people hyping him up are gonna be dissapointed. I think he's a less talented Anthony Richardson.
@@SheepEatingDuckhis arm is plenty strong but agree some mechanics rework is needed for in the pocket (he’s an elite off platform thrower and that’s just natural, you don’t change that). Will have to see him read the field more and stay disciplined. A lot of this backyard football shit will not work for the most part in college. For all of Billy’s flaws, he usually has good evals. We’ll see

It’s alright, he’ll make the switch to stay home and Join Johnny Footballs Heisman trophy instead lol
@@allencarabajal8989yo dumbass thought 😂😂😂😂
Nah uga is gonna Lans this kid. With there offense coming in omg it'd almost be cheating lol
I see transfer after 1st year 🥱
Etienne left in a year, I see him leaving too
Best player in the 24 class. Go gators!!!
He's up there but Jeremiah Smith is the top guy in the class by far.
You can see the growth in pocket presence and awareness throughout the highlights. He had a tendency early in the season to bail on a clean pocket, but not later in the season. Progression!
I'm glad he's gonna be a gator! The dude throws bombs effortlessly
I hate the fact he's going there....not bc I'm a dawg but bc damnit wtf our offense is perfect for him yall just get sacked and qb kneel
Lmao
@@stefanodenton1900 hopefully he can persuade some other recruits to end up at UF instead of UGA. Lol I think this kid will change the game for UF in the coming years
Dwag logic. Go figure.@@stefanodenton1900
It's incredible how he gets so much power behind his throws with such a short and odd looking throwing motion
right , a weird little leg kick not full step in
He plays baseball too. Might be why
Great reel, many thanks for putting this up. DJ Lagway has difference maker written all over him. I hope it all comes together for him sooner rather than later. GG!
Man his dude number 11 is a beast too hope he can come as a package deal with DJ.
He is coming with DJ to the Swamp…as a walk on.🐊🐊💯
@@chrissmith9889is this confirmed or are you just talking wishes? That would be awesome to have someone he already has a connection with🐊
@@Litfilmz He was offered PWO offer from Florida. As a SOPHMORE
And how about #7 ... makin' plays. Please Lord, let next year start already!
That is Jalen Mickens, he was a junior last year. Still got one more year, but #9 Hampton, is there!
Not the MJF theme song😂😂
Yeaaaa a wrestling fan

Yeah because he’s a baseball player also like Pat
I can't wait for DJ Lagway put up 50 on FSU 😂😂😂
They will beat yall with a second string besides don't worry about just the noles gators funny yalls schedule next year lucky to win 5 games again
@coreyparker4320 lmao salty fsu fan. You guys will be lucky to score a single TD against UGA.

He looks so much faster to me this year. That jump pass where he didn’t even step into it at 1:46 was absolutely incredible.
You didn’t see the coach celebrating with player after that TD at 1:50 .. coach was just as happy
Lagway to the Swamp! He needs to bring some more players with him we got some roster spots😂
One of his receivers was a Junior and one was a Sophomore, but one did go to Florida. He was #11, Jalen Mickens!
Love the MJF music
This is the Reincarnation of Steve McNair
What an amazing talent I can see him winning a Heisman
Good comp.
great comparison. I was thinking McNair or Daunte Culpepper
0:56 isnt the dude who hit him right after the throw also a 5 star?
Napier with this kid at Starting QB is going to be insane.
Can’t wait for DJ to put on that Orange and Blue dudes electric Go Gators 🐊🐊🐊
Sheeesh 95% of the deep passes the kid threw was on his back foot🤯
The throw at :57 is incredible
Hopefully the gators get few 5 star OL to protect lagway imagine DJ with a clen pocket and time execute the play this kid is absolutely dangerous.. most these highlights his o line gives him no time and still did amazing this kid future Heisman trophy winner in my opinion gators by a million
Who’s the receiver driving that db back 15 + yards on the first clip
interesting mechanics but seems to work for him balls are on point good pocket presence and speed i see the potential
I am only 1:30 in and I have seen enough. If he plays like this in Gainesville, Nape will win at least 2 nattys with this kid.
This kid gonna be a big problem for the nation!
22 days until kickoff.. Go Gators! 🐊🐊🐊
Can we give some appreciation to #71 blocking at 1:52
Edit: Also a slight hold from #71 at 5:42 lol
GO GATORS!!!!
Thank you God! We finally getting a real QB 🐊🐊
mertz is a beast tho
Great compilation. Look forward to seeing him in Gainesville for the next several years. Now, it's time to build an offensive line to protect him.
Several years? This guy will be gone after 1
@@G_GO0NO At least he signed. Maybe he's gone in 1 year or maybe he needs 3 to develop into an NFL QB. Whatever.

@@wjking5219cfb have to play 3 years of college ball before going pro. They can transfer after 1 season though.
Florida gotta QB
That MJF sample 🔥
Receiver #4 went to Florida with him! His name is DeBraun Hampton!
i see the next cam newton (minus the part where he leaves UF hopefully lol)
Welcome to the Gators 🐊🐊🐊
Cam newton?
I forgot how bad tackling was in high school. But DJ is gonna make a lot of guys miss when he gets to UF.
This guy is 🔥
Go 🐊
🐊🐊🐊
He def has great upside. He needs to work on his throwing motion he does some weird stuff with his feet too.
Looks like baby cam
Fight On! ✌️
Whoa..!
Deceptive speed
Looks almost identical to Daunte Culpepper in high school.
Speed underrated
Next GOAT behind Tebow.
Sheesh 🔥
Now he’s in the SEC giving them the business on a team that’s subpar without him … putting Willis on the map
Looks good. Word of caution though. He looks awfully thick for a HS Senior. Hopefully not, but there is a danger of this evolving into a JaMarcus Russell situation. Most guys gain 20-30 lbs between 18 and 22, so he will have to really work to keep his weight down.
He has a Lazer for an arm.
GO GATORS!
This dude is very similar to Jayden Daniels. Definitely a more accurate passer than Anthony Richardson but probably not as athletic. Should be a really good QB for my Gators!
Man amongst boys.. but it’s still RTR
He won’t be in Florida long trust me smh
He's wearing the number 2 Jamarcus Russell "Bust" Jersey. Not a good sign
🐊🐊🐊🐊🐊
If he can stop doing that jump step when he tosses deep
❤
Welcome to gville Lagway
why does this dude always jump when he throws anything past 10 yards lol
Go Gators
Going to make a great addition to Texas A&M!
He’s signed with Florida clowney
Looks like Cam Newton.
He needs to transfer to MIAMI FAST
Miami plays in a dog shit conference and barely relevant. You’re gonna get embarrassed game one next season don’t worry.
Damn Cam Newton 2.0?
Flicks the wrist and it’s gone lol sort of like Lamar and Vick
looks a little mahomy
His strides are too long to be an explosive runner in the nfl, he won’t be able to get to top speed in time. He better be a prolific passer if he wants to be top 5 draft pick material.
Kinda clunky
Overweight and HORRIBLE throwing mechanics
Yet he’s the top QB in the class and broke many records…
Where do you see overweight? He is 6'2" and 225 lbs, stacked and lean!

Word
@@Chad13 looks like I’m the one we should laugh at! Lol I just like to troll!😏
Good highlights, but Florida fans are delusional if they think he’s going to come in as a true freshman and light up SEC defenses.
Mertz will start next year. DJ can get a year under his belt first.
This kid isnt signing with Napier... he'd be crazy to right now.
Well he did..
Looks like an athlete but a very suspect arm talent especially at the college level. Seems to throw like Tebow mechanics wise...
Arm talent and throwing motion are two completely different things his arm talent is is very high and also his mechanics are not close to as bad as tebows
He doesn't have the looping motion that Tebow had, and his arm talent is just fine. He looks very similar to Cam Newton in a lot of ways.

Mechanics agree but idk what you looking at hasost generational arm talent quickest release ive seen ball leaps out hamd accuracy is off charts to
Gators will ruin him
