Source: Titans Met With Torrence Ahead Of Florida Pro Day

NASHVILLE - The Tennessee Titans are in the market for offensive linemen, so it should come as no surprise that they would be spending some of their pre-draft time checking out players they might be interested in adding to that position group.

According to a source, who spoke with AllTitans Tyler Rowland, on Wednesday night, the Titans met with the former University of Florida offensive guard O'Cyrus Torrence, who is projected as the top guard in the 2023 draft class.

Torrence (6'5", 330 lbs.) is a broad, physical player who would appear to be a good fit for a Titans offense that likes to run the football. His most impressive stat in college was that he did not allow a sack throughout his career.

Here's what the NFL Network draft analysts had to say of Torrance.

The massive Torrence earned all-district and all-state honors at St. Helena Central High School in Louisiana and signed with the University of Louisiana to play for the Ragin' Cajuns. He immediately stepped into the starting lineup in Lafayette, beginning 13 of 14 contests at left guard in 2019. Torrence was a second-team All-Sun Belt Conference selection as a sophomore, when he started all 11 games at right guard. He ascended to first-team All-SBC accolades as a junior, starting 12 games at right guard and missing two due to injury. Torrence followed his Louisiana head coach, Billy Napier, to Florida for the 2022 season, where he garnered first-team Associated Press All-American honors as well as first-team All-SEC notice for his play in 11 starts at right guard. He opted out of the Las Vegas Bowl, thus finishing his career without giving up a sack. -- by Chad Reuter

Broad guard prospect whose physical limitations are balanced by his feel for the job and ability to use his size in his favor. Torrence is not a natural bender. He is forced to engulf and push rather than leverage and drive as a run blocker, but he’s solid at neutralizing the man across from him. He uses his hands well to jab and maintain feel for the rush, but quick interior rushers with well-developed counters could be too much for his limited foot quickness to handle without help. He projects as a future starter for downhill offenses who covet size over athleticism.- Lance Zerlien

The Titans will watch Torrence, Gators quarterback Anthony Richardson, who will visit Nashville as a top-30 visitor for the Titans, and the rest of the draft-eligible Gators players later today in Gainesville.
