UF QB DJ Lagway shakes off injuries, will start Gators' season opener Florida quarterback DJ Lagway will open the 2025 season as the Gators starter Saturday night against Long Island University in the Swamp.

AUGUST 25, 2025 • SUN-SENTINEL.COM

Starter for Saturday swamp game Lagway (leg) will be the Gators' starting quarterback for their upcoming game Saturday against LIU, Edgar Thompson of the Orlando Sentinel reports.

Impact The 2025 offseason has seen Lagway deal with multiple injuries, a shoulder problem in the spring and a leg issue this fall. The former got resolved before the fall, and the latter is no longer affecting him just a week before Saturday. It will be a perfect opportunity for Lagway to continue building off his 2024 season, in which he showed promise with a 59.9 completion percentage on 192 passes for 1,915 yards and a 12-9 TD-INT ratio. Lagway also recorded 51 carries for 101 yards and an additional two touchdowns.

Taking team reps in practice Lagway (leg) is participating in team sessions during practice, per Joey Knight of the Tampa Bay Times.

Impact Lagway has been expected to be ready for Florida's opener on August 30 against Long Island, and this is another positive sign that the starting gunslinger will indeed be able to suit up for Week 1. Lagway has been gradually increasing his workload throughout fall camp, but this should be one of the final hurdles for the talented signal caller before he's fully cleared to return to action.

Should be ready for opener Lagway (calf) is expected to be ready for the season-opener against LIU on Aug. 30, Pete Nakos of On3.com reports.

Impact Lagway has continued to progress in his recovery from a calf injury, though he did not participate in the most recent preseason scrimmage as part of a carefully managed return-to-work plan. Coach Billy Napier described him as "on schedule" and executing the team's recovery plan well, noting that Lagway is gradually increasing his workload and showing encouraging momentum in practice. Despite the injury, his throwing velocity appears stronger than ever, marking a positive development in his rehabilitation. While Florida approaches its Week?1 matchup just under two weeks away, the outlook for the sophomore quarterback remains around continued monitoring and incremental progress-not a firm projection of availability.

Best performance practice Monday Lagway (leg) had his best performance practice Monday as the Gators try to get him ready for their 2025 season, Kevin Brockway of The Gainesville Sun reports.

Impact Performance-wise, Lagway showing some highs indicates that his progression is going relatively well. But with Lagway's physical health continually being mentioned as a problem, he looks questionable while the Gators prepare for LIU on Aug. 30. Lagway absent then would allow Harrison Bailey, Aidan Warner and Trammell Jones a brief opportunity to be QB1.
