DJ Lagway injury update: Florida football QB carted off vs Georgia

(This story has been updated from a previous version).

Florida football quarterback DJ Lagway was carted off the field of Saturday’s game against No. 2 Georgia after suffering a hamstring injury. He was unable to put weight on his leg and was carried into the cart.

Lagway, a former five-star recruit, was serving as the Gators’ starter after Graham Mertz suffered a season-ending injury ACL tear against Tennessee. He led Florida to a 10-3 lead just before halftime after throwing a 43-yard touchdown to Aidan Mizell in the second quarter.

Lagway entered the game with 1,024 passing yards and five touchdowns to five interceptions this season, along with 96 rushing yards. He was the No. 7 overall recruit and No. 2 quarterback in the 2024 recruiting class, according to 247Sports’ Composite rankings.

The crowd chanted ‘DJ Lagway’ as he was carted off the field.

Lagway hurt his left hamstring, laying on the field at EverBank Stadium for several moments while getting tended to by Florida trainers. He was eventually carted off the field.

Florida coach Billy Napier confirmed it was a hamstring injury in a halftime interview with Holly Rowe, calling the injury significant.

‘He’s got a hamstring. Pretty significant one,’ Napier said. ‘But he’s a tough kid. I can promise you one thing, this team will rally behind him for sure.’
