DJ Lagway Returns to 11-on-11 as Billy Napier Delays QB Decision

Florida is keeping its star quarterback in a non-contact jersey with his opener role still uncertain.

Overview

  • Napier said Lagway handled first-team snaps in 11-on-11 for the first time since camp opened, calling the step positive.
  • Lagway is recovering from a July left calf strain and remains in a non-contact jersey, with the coach noting he is feeling better and moving well.
  • The quarterback depth chart remains unsettled, with Napier describing the backup competition among Harrison Bailey, Aidan Warner and Tramell Jones Jr. as an ongoing battle.
  • Defensive tackle Caleb Banks missed practice time and was seen in a walking boot, with his status characterized as day-to-day and not serious by a program source.
  • Florida opens Aug. 30 against Long Island University before facing USF, LSU and Miami, placing a premium on cautious management of Lagway’s workload.
