Two more scores in win Lagway was 14-for-22 passing for 133 yards, two touchdowns and one interception during Saturday's 31-11 victory versus Florida State.

Impact Florida finished the regular season on a three-game winning streak with Lagway at the helm, as the freshman surprisingly did most of his damage with his arm. Despite only part-time playing time early on in 2024, Lagway threw for 1,610 yards, 11 touchdowns and seven picks. Following Florida's bowl game, he will enter 2025 as the undisputed starting quarterback for the Gators.

Two touchdowns in victory Lagway was 10-for-17 passing for 180 yards, two touchdowns and one interception during Saturday's 24-17 win against Mississippi.

Impact Lagway tossed multiple touchdown passes for just the second time this season. He has been surprisingly limited in terms of running the football as a freshman, but has still been able to hit on some big plays through the air. He should be primed for a big game against a dismal FSU squad next weekend.

Officially questionable Lagway (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Florida's clash with LSU.

Only available in emergency Lagway (hamstring) will not play in Saturday's game at Texas barring an emergency situation, HornSports reports.

Impact Lagway wasn't taking snaps from the starting center in warmups, affirming prior reports suggesting the freshman signal-caller was unlikely to contribute in a significant fashion. Aidan Warner is in line to start for the Gators, while Lagway may be more of an emergency-only option.
