There have been many questions surrounding Florida football's starting quarterback DJ Lagway coming into the spring that have been mostly focused on a pair of injuries he is apparently recovering from after last season's run. However, the program has been mum about the specifics, leaving the media and fans to speculate on his status.
Some clarity on the issue came on Saturday after the Gators' annual Orange and Blue game — the final intrasquad scrimmage that represents the end of the spring practice season — when coach Billy Napier noted that his prized play-caller is expected to resume throwing activities within the next week or so.
Billy Napier says DJ Lagway will begin throwing in the next couple of weeks.

"Everything's on schedule."
Expects Lagway to be 100% for Florida's OTAs in June and fall camp.
"DJ's doing great," Napier offered after the scrimmage.
"He'll start throwing here in a couple weeks. But, yeah, just in general, very positive there. The lower body stuff is good and I think he's been able to do that and I think we're working on just kind of getting him in position for the next step but in general, there are a lot of positives. Everything's on schedule."
The expectation is that Lagway will be ready for the organized team activities planned for June as well as the fall camp ahead of the 2025 campaign. Of course, only time will tell if he is truly ready for the next gridiron grind.
