Florida freshman quarterback DJ Lagway was carted off the field in Jacksonville Saturday.
Just two weeks after senior Graham Mertz suffered a torn ACL that cost him his final collegiate season, Lagway’s freshman season is in jeopardy. With just over five minutes to play in the second quarter against Georgia, Lagway ran left and was dropped for a short gain.
He did not get up.

The Florida medical staff rushed to his aid, and the cart was brought out.

Lagway was the prized recruit of the Billy Napier era in Gainesville. He shared quarterback duties with Mertz until the veteran went down. Florida will now turn to Aidan Warner, a former three-star recruit who redshirted at Yale last season before walking on at Florida.
LSU travels to Florida in two weeks to play the Gators.
