  • Lagway's recovery plan, overseen by UF medical staff and private trainers, included limited participation in spring activities and a stringent rehabilitation protocol.

  • Coach Billy Napier confirmed Lagway is on track to be fully available for summer workouts ahead of the team's August 30 season opener against Long Island University.
  • Lagway, who went 6-1 as a starter in his freshman year, is working with private trainers to strengthen his arm, refine mechanics, and prepare for his sophomore campaign.
