Torrence is the third Florida player to be named to the first-team in the last 11 years.
NEW HAVEN, Ct. – Florida's offensive lineman O'Cyrus Torrence was named to the Walter Camp All American First Team, the Walter Camp Football Foundation at the 32nd edition of ESPN's The Home Depot College Football Award Show, a two-hour special that aired on from ESPN's Britsol, Conn. studios. Torrence joins Kyle Pitts (2020) and Vernon Hargreaves III (2015) to earn first-team honors in the past 11 years. He was one of only two SEC players to make the first team offense (WR Jalin Hyatt, Tennessee).
This is the 133rd edition of the Walter Camp All-America team, the nation's oldest college football All-America team. Twenty-six players were selected to the first team by the 131 Football Bowl Subdivision head coaches and sports information directors. In addition, 26 players were selected to the Second Team.
A native of Greensburg, La., Torrence started in eleven games this season, allowing zero sacks while not committing a penalty not only during his lone season with the Gators, but over his career. Torrence is the highest graded guard in the country according to Pro Football Focus with an 88.2 grade.
Torrence has anchored an offensive line that has allowed only 13 sacks this season, which is second-least in the SEC and tied for 15th in the nation. Florida's 5.8 yards per carry and 213.7 rushing yards per game are amongst the best in program history.
On Tuesday, Torrence was selected to the All-SEC First Team, becoming the first Florida offensive lineman to earn such honors since Maurkice and Mike Pouncey back in 2009, and the 26th overall.
