The Senior Bowl is an opportunity for NFL hopefuls to showcase their talents in front of scouts and GMs. The Florida Gators has two representatives in Mobile, Alabama for this year’s contest, Richard Gouraige and O’Cyrus Torrence.

Part of the value of these games are the practices leading up to the game itself and throughout the week Torrence was earning high praise for his performance.

Matched up against a variety of defensive ends and defensive tackles, Torrence showcased why he is a projected first round pick that is gaining steam with NFL fan bases.

And while the game was what it was, with the American Team beating the National Team 27-10, Torrence found himself on the wrong end of trying to block linebacker Ivan Pace.

Pace is a linebacker out of Cincinnati and was a Butkus Award Finalist, so it’s not like he is a nobody. Still this wasn’t the best look for Torrence was was an absolute brick wall for the Florida Gators in 2022.

Florida Gators Tennis falls to USC

The Florida Gators men’s tennis team is taking part in the SEC/Pac-12 Challenge and took on Southern Cal yesterday (know you the USC with academic standards).

Doubles pair Will Grant and Axel Nefve along with Jonah Braswell and Lukas Greif helped secure the doubles point for Florida to start the match. The Gators were unfortunately overpowered during the singles portion of the match, USC winning four of the five singles matches in straight sets with minimal resistance. Togan Tokac did stretch his match to a third set tiebreaker, but fell 10-8 in the final set.

Braswell was the only Gator to win his singles match, beating No. 65 Bradley Frye in straight sets (6-4, 6-2).

The Florida Gators will continue their participation in the SEC/Pac-12 Challenge when the take on the 16th ranked Stanford Cardinal today.
