Score Florida vs. Georgia and live updates: Carson Beck throws third INT of the game

With Florida’s starting five-star quarterback DJ Lagway out with what head coach Billy Napier called a “pretty significant” hamstring injury, redshirt freshman walk-on Aidan Warner has taken over. If you don’t know much about him, you’re in good company.

The former three-star recruit was at Yale last season but did not play. After joining Florida in January, he was slowed by a knee injury. He did enough during preseason camp to earn the No. 3 job — which became No. 2 when Week 1 starter Graham Mertz tore his ACL. After Mertz’s injury, Napier said the 6-foot-1, 206-pound Warner “has really made some significant development and shown promise.”

In high school, Warner completed 60.6 percent of his passes with 24 touchdowns and six interceptions. He had a few Group of Five offers, including Florida Atlantic, Coastal Carolina and UConn, according to 247Sports.

The next quarterback for Florida is likely Clay Millen. He originally signed with Nevada, then transferred to Colorado State and started 10 games in 2022.
