Billy Napier provided the media with injury updates ahead of Florida’s week two matchup vs Samford.
DJ Lagway expected to start at QB
Redshirt senior quarterback Graham Mertz suffered a concussion during Florida’s week one loss to Miami and true freshman DJ Lagway is expected to start in week two vs Samford.
“Graham did not practice today. He is farther into the protocol, he’s doing better, but he’s not quite there yet. As of now, DJ [Lagway] will start the game and Clay [Millen] and Aidan [Warner] will be the backups,” Napier said.
While Napier didn’t leave out the option of Mertz being cleared and available to play in week two, it seemed highly unlikely.
