Florida Gators QB DJ Lagway Cleared for 2025 Season Despite Multiple Injuries

Florida Gators quarterback DJ Lagway is set to start the 2025 season after a sophomore year marked by injuries during the offseason, including shoulder, lower-body, and calf issues. Head coach Billy Napier confirmed Lagway has been a full participant in practice recently and praised his improvement and leadership growth since his freshman season. Despite some fan concerns about Napier's confidence regarding Lagway's health, the coach emphasized the team has adjusted its game plan accordingly without revealing specifics. Lagway's strong finish last season, leading the team to multiple upset wins and a 6-1 record as a starter, has raised expectations for Florida's potential playoff and national championship contention. The Gators begin the season against LIU, a less competitive opponent, which could help ease Lagway back into action. Overall, Napier is optimistic about Lagway’s development and sees him as a key figure driving the team’s progress this year.
