When O'Cyrus Torrence transferred from Louisiana to Florida there were questions about how well he would do at the SEC level. Torrence answered emphatically and anchored an offensive line that only gave up 15 sacks all season and finished third in the conference in rushing yards per game.
Just as it was no surprise to see Torrence declare for the NFL draft, he unsurprisingly made CBS Sports’ All-America first team on Wednesday. What makes the honor even more impressive is that this was a down year for the SEC in terms of first-team selections. The Big Ten led the way with 10 players making the cut, and the SEC trailed significantly with just five.
Torrence should be a first-round pick when the draft rolls around, but there is a chance that he slips to Day 2 of the event. Postseason honors such as this help strengthen his draft stock and are well deserved. Pro Football Focus lists Torrence as the highest-graded guard in all of college football.
It’s currently unknown whether Torrence will be available or not for Florida’s bowl game against Oregon State on Dec. 17 but it is becoming increasingly common for high-profile players to skip minor bowl games when they are pegged as a first-rounder.
