Florida defensive line signee LJ McCray was named the Anthony Muñoz Lineman of the Year Award winner at the All-American Bowl on Saturday.
Muñoz is widely regarded as the greatest offensive linemen in football history. The former USC left tackle went third overall in the 1980 NFL draft and spent 13 years with the Cincinnati Bengals before ending his career with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Muñoz Award is presented annually to the best lineman — offense or defense.
McCray finished his senior season with 77 total tackles (48 solo) and 13 sacks, according to MaxPreps. He won the award over Ohio State defensive lineman Eddrick Houston, Colorado offensive tackle Jordan Seaton, Michigan offensive tackle Andrew Sprague and Auburn defensive lineman Amaris Williams.
Congratulations to @LJMcCray11 for being named the winner of the Anthony Muñoz Lineman of the Year Award. #GoGators
