Florida’s starting quarterback, DJ Lagway, is set to miss the opening of fall camp due to a calf strain, which will have him participating in practices while wearing a walking boot. Coach Billy Napier has acknowledged the setback, stating that it’s not ideal for the team’s preparations. The injury comes at a critical time for the Gators, as they gear up for the upcoming season and look to build on their previous campaign.
Lagway, a key leader on the team, has been a vital part of Florida’s offense, and his absence during the early stages of camp could impact the team’s cohesion and preparation. Coach Napier emphasized the importance of having Lagway on the field, noting that his presence would provide leadership and stability for the offense.
The coaching staff is working closely with Lagway to ensure he receives the appropriate care and treatment to recover fully. While there is no official timeline for his return, Napier expressed confidence that Lagway will be back in full strength for the season. The Gators’ offseason has been focused on strengthening their offense, and Lagway’s injury adds a new challenge to their preparations.
