Florida Gators’ Quarterback DJ Lagway’s Health Issues Arise as Fall Camp Begins
As the Florida Gators kickoff their fall camp, concerns regarding the health of starting quarterback DJ Lagway have surfaced once again. Reports emerged on July 29 indicating that Lagway is dealing with a lower-body injury and was seen wearing a walking boot. Gators’ head coach Billy Napier confirmed in a press briefing that Lagway is classified as "day-to-day" and will be limited at the onset of training camp.
While the news raises eyebrows, Napier reassured fans that Lagway’s injury appears to be minor and not expected to hinder his long-term performance. Lagway, who had a standout freshman year leading Florida to its first postseason appearance, has demonstrated significant potential as one of the SEC’s top passers for the upcoming 2025 season.
However, this injury is part of a troubling trend, as Lagway has faced various health issues since arriving in Gainesville. Last season, he notably played through a hamstring injury and had limitations during spring practice due to shoulder problems and a hernia. His durability has become a significant concern as he enters his second season.
This year is especially crucial for Coach Napier, who remains on the hot seat as the program aims for a historic milestone: reaching the College Football Playoff for the first time. The Gators are set to begin the 2025 season against LIU on August 30, making Lagway’s recovery a critical factor for the team’s success.
As the camp progresses, both fans and coaching staff will be eagerly watching Lagway’s condition, hoping for his swift return to full form.
