DJ Lagway Returns for Florida vs. LSU

Florida Gators' quarterback DJ Lagway is set to return from a hamstring injury for their crucial matchup against No. 22 LSU this Saturday, as confirmed by head coach Billy Napier. Lagway, a true freshman, missed last week's loss to Texas but is a key player for Florida, having thrown for over 1,000 yards this season with a notable average of 11.3 yards per attempt. His return comes as the Gators aim to improve their struggling 4-5 record, while backup quarterback Aidan Warner will revert to a backup role. The team hopes Lagway can reignite their offense, which has faced difficulties in his absence. Coach Napier emphasizes a day-to-day approach as they prepare, urging players to treat each practice like a one-day contract. Additionally, running back Montrell Johnson Jr. is also close to returning from his injury, adding further optimism for the Gators.
