Florida offensive lineman O'Cyrus Torrence visiting Pittsburgh Steelers, Washington Commanders
Florida Gators offensive line standout O’Cyrus Torrence is a wanted man. The potential first-round draft pick in the 2023 NFL Draft is visiting the Pittsburgh Steelers and Washington Commanders this week, according to Tom Pelissero.
Torrence is starting with the Steelers on Wednesday then traveling to D.C on Thursday. The two teams have back-to-back first-round picks this month at No. 16 and No. 17. The Commanders pick first however, meaning the Steelers may need to trade up if Torrence is their guy.
According to Pro Football Focus, the former Gators guard was the top-rated guard in the nation in 20022 with a grade of 88.0. He didn’t allow a sack or quarterback hit during his career and didn’t allow a hurry or commit a penalty in 698 snaps this season.
Torrence made history with his All-American status this season. Out of the five publications used to determine unanimous and Consensus All-Americans, he earned first-team honors in four of them (Walter Camp, Associated Press, The Sporting News, AFCA). He was on the second team for one (Football Writers Association of America).
The Gators could have multiple prospects go in the first round of the 2023 NFL draft, despite a disappointing season overall. Quarterback Anthony Richardson is in the conversation to be the first quarterback off the board.

Pittsburgh has also had top-30 visits from Miami cornerback Tyrique Stevenson, NC State guard Chandler Zavala and several more so far.
