25 News already confirmed that Lagway was signing with the Bears, but the former Florida Gator would not sign yet with Baylor. He would visit Ole Miss before finally signing on the dotted line.

This is a boost to Baylor's offense as the Bears were looking to replace Sawyer Robertson.

Lagway made an appearance in Waco when he was at Baylor men's basketball game against Iowa State.

His addition to the team adds some excitement for Baylor football as I took a closer look at this signing.
