O’Cyrus Torrence mostly played right guard for Louisiana, as a run mauler who could move the play into the second level. Transferred to Florida with head coach Billy Napier. Torrence is mostly a run blocker who is going to struggle to hold up in pass protection, limiting him to a right guard. He took the starting job at Louisiana in the second game of his freshman season as an injury replacement and never gave the job back. 

If O’Torrence can just work on his pass protection then he’s going to be a stud offensive lineman in the NFL. He’s got a lot to clean up, though. His hands could use work, his feet are a mess, and he has lean issues that impact his ability to lean. So there is massive upside to work with here.

O’Cyrus Torrence’s scouting report

Athletic Ability (35)

Athleticism: 15 

• Speed (3.5/7) – Too big to really have any speed, will be limited to power and not really be an effective puller.
• Lateral Quickness (5.5/8) – Decent lateral quickness.

Strength/Power: 20 

• Upper Body Strength (6.5/7) – Excellent upper body strength. Has the strength to manhandle players. 
• Lower Body Strength (5/7) – Certainly shows solid explosion pretty often. Struggles in his anchor which has some to do with his lower body but I think it’s more of poor footwork causing the issues. 
• Brute Power (5.5/6) – An absolute brute. Manhandles defenders when working downhill. 

Lineman Technique (55)

Anchor/Plant: 15 

• Anchor (5/8) – Has a solid anchor when he can win with his hands. Holds up well when he needs to. Consistency isn’t great. 
• Plant Recovery (4/7) – Gets grabby when he’s losing. Struggles to hold up properly. Can sometimes recover well but his feet are currently a mess. 

Hand Usage: 10 –

• Placement (2.5/4) – Hand placement is average. Struggles to work the defender properly and against power.  
• Hand Strength (2/3) – Hand strength looks good at times and looks weak at others. Very inconsistent. 
• Technique (2/3) – Gets his hands to decent place. Has several attacks that work well. 

Pass Block: 15 –

• Strength (5.5/8) – Very stout pass protector when he can position properly.  The key is getting him to position properly. Almost has to be in attacking mode to hold up. 
• Technique (4/7) – Angles and positioning sometimes isn’t great. Can lose his leverage trying to drop. Tends to lean too far which is what makes him susceptible. 

Run Block: 15 –

• Strength (7/8) – Very strong interior. Gets downhill very well. Can work up into the second level in the right circumstances. 
• Technique (7/7) – Solid attacking set. Very nice technique. 

Persona (10)

Football IQ: 5 –

• Understanding of Assignments (4/5) – Very smart player. Picks up stunts extremely well. Does a great job passing off defenders effectively.
