DJ Lagway Faces Injuries, Expected to Start Throwing Soon

Florida Gators quarterback DJ Lagway is recovering from a shoulder injury that has limited his participation in spring practice. Coach Billy Napier expects Lagway to be 100% healthy by the start of OTAs and to begin throwing in a couple of weeks, which is crucial as the Gators look forward to the 2025 season. Lagway, who impressed last year as a true freshman by throwing for 1,915 yards and 12 touchdowns, might have to undergo surgery later if rest and rehab do not suffice. Despite concerns regarding his shoulder and an undisclosed lower-body injury, Lagway's coach and family have opted for a conservative approach, aiming for full recovery before the season. As the Gators prepare for a challenging schedule, Lagway's health will be pivotal for the team's aspirations of a successful season. Backup options for Florida are limited, raising the stakes for Lagway's return to form.
