GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- Graham Mertz will start at quarterback Saturday for Florida against Texas A&M, but there is a plan in place for freshman DJ Lagway.

Florida coach Billy Napier told ESPN that Mertz would be the first quarterback on the field and that Lagway would play specific possessions each half and certain plays throughout possessions.

"Both players will play. They have a great relationship," Napier said.
