True freshman quarterback DJ Lagway has played a critical role in turning around Florida’s 2024 season, and potentially the program. The Gators are 5-0 when Lagway starts and finishes the game at quarterback, including wins against No.22 LSU, No.9 Ole Miss, and in state rival Florida State. The Gators have logged their first winning season under Billy Napier, snapping a three-year drought dating back to Dan Mullen’s last season in 2021.
But it’s not just the highlight throws and superman plays from Lagway that make people excited for the future, it’s also what he’s doing off the field.
