Overview

  • DJ Lagway, Florida's breakout quarterback, has resumed throwing after resting his right shoulder during spring practice to recover from soreness.
  • Lagway's recovery plan, overseen by UF medical staff and private trainers, included limited participation in spring activities and a stringent rehabilitation protocol.
  • In addition to shoulder rehab, Lagway's layoff allowed him to fully heal from a hamstring strain and core muscle injury sustained during the 2024 season.
  • 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.
