Torrence for the Gators
Torrence was named SEC Offensive Lineman of the Week following his performance in Florida’s 41-24 road win against Texas A&M. A week later, he won Co-SEC Offensive Lineman of the Week after Florida cruised to a 32-point victory over South Carolina.
If O'Cyrus Torrence opts out of the bowl game (which is expected), he will finish his entire 4-year college career not giving up a single sack with only 24 quarterback hurries. Insane statistics for an offensive lineman

Though his status for the Las Vegas Bowl on Dec. 17 remains unclear, Torrence accepted his invitation to play in the 2023 Reese’s Senior Bowl in Mobile, Alabama.

Remaining Awards
The SEC will announce its individual award winners Wednesday before the conference reveals its All-Freshman Team Thursday. After recovering from a bicep tear that sidelined him for most of the 2021 season, Florida linebacker Ventrell Miller is a semifinalist for 2022 Comeback Player of the Year.
Congratulations to @ventrell_miller on being named a 2022 Comeback Player of the Year Award Semifinalist!
