Florida Gators Poised for Strong 2025 Season: Lagway Underestimated, Slaughter Honored
Gainesville, FL – The Florida Gators are generating notable buzz heading into the 2025 college football season, and recent accolades from Athlon Sports reflect the growing optimism surrounding the program.Head coach Billy Napier is entering his fourth year, and the team is riding the momentum of a promising finish to the 2024 season led by quarterback DJ Lagway [[source]].
Athlon Sports recently released its 2025 preseason All-America and All-SEC teams, recognizing three Gators with national honors and ten with All-SEC selections [[source]].
While Lagway,who went 6-1 as a starter last season,received fourth-team All-SEC offensive honors,many believe this is an underestimation of his potential. Fans are hopeful he will considerably elevate his standing throughout the 2025 campaign.
