Overview

  • Lagway is sidelined at the start of fall camp with a calf strain and must wear a walking boot while missing team drills.
  • Coach Billy Napier labeled Lagway’s condition day-to-day and offered no timetable for his return despite noting quick progress.
  • This injury adds to a streak of setbacks since January 2024, including a foot injury, spring shoulder issues and sports hernia surgery.
  • Without Lagway, journeyman Harrison Bailey is taking most first-team reps and walk-on Aidan Warner is competing for backup duties.
  • Lagway’s availability will be critical to Florida’s offensive plans and Heisman buzz as fall camp unfolds behind closed doors to media.
