Gators may need to rely on freshmen offensive linemen for quality depth in 2023

Assistant coaches Rob Sale and Darnell Stapleton led the Gators’ offensive line to a productive 2022 season. Florida averaged 5.5 yards per carry, ranking 8th in FBS. Their 16 sacks allowed ranks T-25th in FBS.

The offseason departures of Richard Gouraige, Ethan White, O’Cyrus Torrence, and Michael Tarquin have created question marks surrounding the unit.

The Gators signed three offensive linemen on early signing day, who may get a real shot at contributing early on in their careers.

“This offensive line group, I’m really excited about this offensive line group,” Billy Napier said during his early signing day press conference.
