The Florida Gators are set to kick off their 2025 football season, with a promising schedule that includes matchups against top SEC teams. The Gators will face off against SEC powerhouses like Georgia, Ole Miss, Tennessee, LSU, and Texas A&M. Home games include a highly anticipated matchup against Texas, where potential first-round picks DJ Lagway and Arch Manning will square off. Other notable home games include matches against Mississippi State and Florida State.
The Gators are predicted to end the season with 6.5 wins, according to On3. Quarterback DJ Lagway’s development will be crucial, having played in only five games last season where the team dropped just one game. The team has lost some key players to the transfer portal but has also secured talented newcomers, including a highly-ranked 2025 class.
DJ Lagway’s progress will be closely monitored, especially given his shoulder injury that has limited his throwing practice. Arch Manning will face off against DJ Lagway in the Gators’ home game against Texas. The Gators have secured a talented group of freshmen, including four-star wide receiver Dallas Wilson, who flipped from Oregon to join the team.
The Gators have already landed several top recruits for the 2026 class, including four-star quarterback Will Griffin and four-star running back Carsyn Baker. Head coach Billy Napier is focused on building a well-rounded roster, with targets in various positions. Get ready for an exciting season of Gators football, with a mix of challenging games and promising newcomers. Stay tuned for updates on the team’s progress and performance. #GoGators
