Welcome to Texas Longhorns, 5-Star QB DJ Lagway: Steve Sarkisian Unveils the Commitment That Could Redefine the Future of Texas Football
In a move that could significantly reshape the trajectory of Texas Longhorns football, head coach Steve Sarkisian has secured the commitment of 5-star quarterback DJ Lagway, one of the most coveted prospects in the nation. Lagway’s announcement sent shockwaves through the college football landscape, with experts already calling it a potential game-changer for the program’s future.
Lagway, ranked among the top quarterbacks in the 2025 recruiting class, brings a rare combination of elite arm talent, mobility, football IQ, and leadership. At 6-foot-2 and 225 pounds, he has drawn comparisons to NFL-caliber players for his poise in the pocket and his playmaking ability under pressure. His commitment marks a significant recruiting victory for Sarkisian, who has emphasized the importance of building the Longhorns into a national powerhouse through elite quarterback play.
“DJ is everything we look for in a quarterback,” Sarkisian said during the official announcement. “He’s got the physical tools, but more importantly, he’s got the mindset and drive to be great. We believe he can lead Texas to where we want to go.”
Lagway chose Texas over a host of powerhouse programs, including Florida, USC, and Alabama. His decision reflects growing national confidence in Sarkisian’s vision for the Longhorns, who are preparing to transition into the SEC full-time with eyes on competing for championships. Lagway’s commitment could also serve as a magnet for other elite talent, creating momentum for a 2025 recruiting class that could rival the best in the country.
For Texas fans, the excitement is palpable. After years of rebuilding and unmet expectations, the arrival of a generational talent like Lagway injects new energy into the program. His dynamic skill set fits perfectly into Sarkisian’s high-octane offensive scheme, which has already produced impressive results and drawn the attention of NFL scouts.
“Texas is where I want to be,” Lagway said in a statement. “Coach Sark has a great plan, and I want to be a part of something special. I believe we can win big in Austin.”
With DJ Lagway now officially on board, the Longhorns’ future looks brighter than ever. As Sarkisian continues to stockpile elite talent and refine his culture, the commitment of this 5-star quarterback could be remembered as the moment Texas football turned the corner—toward greatness, and perhaps, national titles.
