The possibility of another top 10 class in 2026 , which would mark their third straight, is exciting on its own, and having a quarterback like Lagway leading the charge makes it that much better.
The Gators will enter the first season with Lagway as the full-time starting quarterback, as he relieved Graham Mertz when he went down with injury midseason.
As for Carr, one more year will help him grow his game before he jumps to the collegiate level, and with three seniors on the starting offensive line this year in Damieon George Jr., Jake Slaughter, and Austin Barber, Carr will have a chance to immediately make an impact in 2026.
