Gainesville, FL – Freshman quarterback DJ Lagway has quickly captured the attention of Florida Gators fans, as he enters the 2025 season with high expectations. The five-star recruit, hailing from Willis, Texas, has shown poise and leadership on and off the field, quickly becoming a standout player in the Gators’ quarterback room.
Lagway, who committed to Florida in 2023, has drawn comparisons to some of the program’s legendary quarterbacks. His combination of arm strength, mobility, and football IQ has made him a key asset in new head coach Billy Napier’s offensive system. In spring practices, Lagway impressed coaches and teammates alike with his accuracy and ability to command the offense, even against a tough defense.
“I’ve been really impressed with DJ’s maturity and ability to read defenses,” said Napier. “He has all the tools to be an elite quarterback in this conference.”
With the departure of former starter Graham Mertz, Lagway is poised to step in and become the face of the Florida offense, bringing excitement and hope for a successful future. Fans are eagerly awaiting his debut as he looks to lead the Gators back to national prominence.
