Florida offensive linemen Richard Gouraige and O’Cyrus Torrence strapped up their Gators helmet one last time Saturday at the Reese’s Senior Bowl.
Gouraige and Torrence were both members of the American team and took time after the game to sign a Gators jersey for Florida fan in attendance.
UF offensive line coaches Rob Sale and Darnell Stapleton also visited Mobile, Alabama, earlier in the week to show support to their former starters.
Torrence was a standout performer throughout the Senior Bowl practices, and he’s a projected first-round pick in the latest mock draft from ESPN’s Matt Miller.
“One of the top performers during Senior Bowl week was Torrence, my top-ranked player in Mobile. The 6-foot-5, 337-pound right guard was dominant in one-on-one drills throughout the week, showing an aggressive ability in the run game. But what was most impressive during the week was his ability in pass protection, where his length showed up as pass-rushers were unable to consistently get around him,” wrote Miller, who Torrence going No. 26 overall to the Dallas Cowboys.

Florida had a third player invited to the Reese’s Senior Bowl in linebacker Ventrell Miller, but NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported that Miller missed the game after undergoing surgery for a Jones Fracture in his foot, an injury that he played with through the 2022 season.
Rapoport added that Dr. Robert Anderson did the procedure and Miller, who’s already weight bearing, is scheduled to be full go by April.
