Florida football’s matchup with the LSU Tigers is just minutes away and here’s everything you need to know about who’s available for the Gators in Week 12.
Of course, the major storyline coming into the week was whether or not freshman quarterback DJ Lagway would be ready to go after suffering a left hamstring injury a couple of weeks ago.
Well, we got our answer after head coach Billy Napier announced on Thursday that Lagway will be back and starting at quarterback.
Another key player who got taken off the availability report and will play this afternoon is receiver Elijhah Badger. Badger was listed as “questionable” at the start of the week but was taken off the availability report a couple of days ago.
Linebacker Grayson Howard was listed as “out” on Tuesday, so the Gators will need to have guys step up in that position.
Right guard Damieon George Jr. was listed as “questionable” throughout the week but was taken off the injury report pregame. George was out last week for the Gators but is good to go today.
Running back Montrell Johnson Jr. had missed the past several games for Florida due to a knee injury. Johnson was listed as a “game time decision” pregame and after going through warmups, he will be available to play this afternoon.
