An insider has dropped his honest but brutal prediction for the Florida Gators regarding their run in the playoffs. A strong 8-5 record in the SEC kept Napier’s spell at the Gators alive. While the Gators have shown undeniable resilience, they have added a list of key players to strengthen their team and boost their squad.
‘They’ll Struggle to Make a Bowl’—Insider’s Brutal Verdict on DJ Lagway and Billy Napier’s 2025 Gators
While the program hopes for stability and hopes for the upcoming season, an expert thinks their team is not as indestructible as to make it to the Bowl. Amid all the joy and promised progress, the team and the head coach are in an unsettled position per an analyst’s uneven prediction. In the latest episode of That SEC Football Podcast, Cousin Shane revealed some brutal predictions to SEC Mike as they discussed the 2025 SEC football.
During the discussion, Shane said, “You know, I was really down on them last year, and they kind of turned it around toward the end of the season and had some really great games.”
The insider further said, “You know, I’ve been talking to Florida all summer long, it feels like, and he’s telling me that the Gators are going to the damn playoffs, it feels like, behind the arms of DJ Lagway and this stout Florida Gator football team.” Shane continued, “At the end of the day, you know damn well they’re going to struggle to make a bowl.”
Shane also said that the Gators might need a “miracle win,” and the head coach might manage to save his job for yet another year, like last season, when he went through a challenging season. On the other hand, Napier doesn’t want to go for another year without the playoffs. The positive news is that the 19-year-old quarterback has resumed throwing. The Willis, Texas, native injured his shoulder in the offseason.
Meanwhile, Napier’s team is full of momentum, and curiosity and excitement around quarterback DJ Lagway are rising. The quarterback is the centre of attention in the summer, as the spring game attendance accumulated the highest turnout. As per a report in The Gainesville Sun, 56,563 fans filled the Ben Hill Griffin Stadium.
