Florida QB DJ Lagway Could Return vs. Texas

Florida Gators head coach Billy Napier provided an optimistic update on freshman quarterback DJ Lagway, who suffered a hamstring injury during a game against Georgia. Napier stated that Lagway's injury is less severe than initially feared, and there remains a possibility for his return in the upcoming game against No. 5 Texas. The decision regarding Lagway's availability is expected to be clearer later in the week as the team evaluates his recovery progress. If Lagway cannot play, Aidan Warner, a third-string walk-on quarterback, will start in his place, having previously struggled in his debut against Georgia. Lagway has had a promising season so far, throwing for 1,071 yards with six touchdowns and five interceptions. With starting quarterback Graham Mertz already sidelined for the season, the Gators are hopeful for Lagway's return to bolster their offense.
