The offensive lineman helped his team to a fifth-placed finish in the SEC East with a 6-7 record.Torrence has a very strong ground game and at 6' 5", 347 lbs, he is a man mountain. Additionally, he is also quick to read twists and search for adjusted assignments.SEC Network@SECNetworkO'Cyrus Torrence is the first offensive guard in @GatorsFB history to be named a Consensus All-American 1392202O'Cyrus Torrence is the first offensive guard in @GatorsFB history to be named a Consensus All-American 💪 https://t.co/K52lRaquG1The 23-year-old has been linked with a move to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the upcoming draft.#2 Steve Avila - TCU Horned FrogsSteve Avila played left guard and center for the TCU Horned Frogs. He helped the team to a 13-2 record in 2022, as they topped the Big 12 standings.Avila is 6' 4" and 332 pounds and his frame is dense and capable of absorbing contact. He also possesses enough quickness and athleticism to play in the NFL.Brett Kollmann@BrettKollmannSteve Avila might be OG1 in this whole class and is genuinely a top 40 talent. Handled himself against Georgia, and went toe to toe against Jalen Carter in pass pro and won. He's a 330lb beast.And yet...Tyree Wilson. 70629Steve Avila might be OG1 in this whole class and is genuinely a top 40 talent.

He managed second-team All-SEC accolades after not allowing a single sack in 435 pass-blocking snaps in his 13 starts.Broeker is 6' 4" and weighs 305 pounds, but has impressive recovery quickness against sudden movement at the line. The 22-year-old is also efficient with his hands and hips to swivel and seal cross-face blocks.Billy M@BillyM_91Ole Miss LG (64) Nick Broeker throwing down White as Evans runs it for a TD203Ole Miss LG (64) Nick Broeker throwing down White as Evans runs it for a TD https://t.co/tT7KeLn7JjMany analysts believe that Broeher will get selected in the third round of the NFL draft.#4 Andrew Vorhees - USC TrojansAndrew Vorhees, unfortunately, tore his ACL during the NFL Combine.

The NC State star only allowed 0.5 sacks over 747 snaps last season while starting all 12 games at left guard.Geoff Schwartz@geoffschwartzWatching Chandler Zavala from NC State. Surprised he wasn’t a combine invite because his taped showed he deserved it. Dude can pass protect. Will be a good pro.32833Watching Chandler Zavala from NC State.

He also has the agility and speed to get out in front and land blocks.The 24-year-old is tipped to be selected in the fourth round of the draft.
