Florida's DJ Lagway gets concerning injury update ahead of camp

The Florida Gators are hoping for a big season ahead for talented second-year quarterback DJ Lagway.

There's a bit of a hitch in those plans, though, as Lagway is hurt on the eve of camp.

Lagway has a lower body injury and is in a walking boot, according to 247Sports' Zach Goodall.

The injury is reportedly minor and isn't expected to keep Lagway out of the 2025 season.

Florida's football camp opens Wednesday.

Lagway has already dealt with a throwing shoulder issue, and he also had a lower-body injury that dated back to high school.

At SEC Media Days, Lagway was all positivity about the season ahead.

“Training has been amazing," Lagway said. "I’ve been working. I’m actually getting better at doing that, just trying to get back to throwing the ball. I’ve been working on mechanics that’s going to help my accuracy this year, help my decision making. It’s been great. I’m just excited to get out there with the guys.”

Lagway didn't throw during spring football.

Last season, the true freshman started seven games, and the Gators were 6-1 in those games including a pair of ranked wins.

Lagway threw for 1,915 yards and 12 touchdowns with nine interceptions.

He's got an exciting career ahead, if he can stay on the field.
