No. 2 - O'Cyrus Torrence

He came to Florida with Napier from Louisiana as a solid Sun Belt guard, but he was still unknown to SEC fans.

He became known very quickly as he didn't allow a single sack during the 2022 campaign, nor did he take a single penalty on the season.

In fact, in seven of the eleven games he played in during 2022, he didn't even allow a pressure on the QB.

He went on to get drafted in the 2nd round by Buffalo and has been their starting right guard for the past two seasons.

No. 1 - Ricky Pearsall

Like Badger, Rick Pearsall was a spring transfer from Arizona State. Unlike Badger, there wasn't much fanfare around Pearsall when he committed to Florida. He was a decent enough player out west, but he was seen as a secondary slot guy who maybe could get 500 yards.

If not for Graham Mertz getting knocked out against Missouri, Pearsall would have been the first Gator in over 20 years to rack up 1,000 yards receiving in a single season.

Combined with his famous Superman catch, Pearsall is going to be a fan favorite for years to come. He was drafted in the 1st round by San Francisco, got shot right before the season started, and still managed to rack up 400 yards receiving in his rookie season.
