An ironman interior blocker, O'Cyrus Torrence has anchored the Buffalo Bills' right guard spot as a full-time starter since the day he was drafted.
O'Cyrus Torrence came into the league as the first Gators offensive lineman to earn consensus All-American honors, and Buffalo has leaned on that reliability ever since. He has barely left the field through his first four pro seasons, giving the Bills' offensive line the kind of week-to-week consistency teams build around.
Path to the league
Torrence grew up in Greensburg, Louisiana, and starred at St. Helena Central High School before spending three seasons with the Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns. He transferred to Florida for his final college season in 2022, where he became the first Gators offensive guard to be named a consensus All-American. The Buffalo Bills selected him with the 59th overall pick in the second round of the 2023 NFL Draft.
Career highlights
Torrence stepped into a starting guard role as a rookie and has not relinquished it, developing a reputation as one of the more durable interior linemen in the league. His steady play has made him a foundational piece of a Buffalo offensive line built to protect Josh Allen and open lanes for the run game.
2025 season recap
Torrence again played virtually every offensive snap for Buffalo in 2025, logging over 1,100 offensive snaps and starting the vast majority of the Bills' games. He earned a performance-based pay bonus of more than $1 million from the NFL for another iron-man campaign in the trenches.
