O’Cyrus Torrence Scouting Report: An Enormous And Refined Guard

O’Cyrus Torrence is not precisely what you’d expect out of a guy-sized like him. Rather than being a bully, he is a consistent and technically sound player. He still employs his power well, though, as he can seamlessly move defenders. It’s just not in a dominating fashion as you’d expect. The biggest surprise was how well he held up in pass-pro. He uses his massive and powerful hands well in pass-pro and is a rock against bull rushes. Despite not being an ultra-aggressive mauler like his size would suggest, he has many satisfying traits. The big question is whether he’d be worth a first-round pick.
