STM Take
Three straight tier 8 finishes (#88, #91, #66) for a 2022 Outland Trophy winner taken 59th overall is well below the year-three median for 2nd-round IOLs on Pro Bowl trajectories. The Florida technical foundation plus the Outland Trophy pedigree raised expectations that the on-field production has not yet matched. The 2026 question is whether Torrence crosses into tier 5-6 territory or whether the structural tier 8 baseline becomes the realistic ceiling.
Torrence came out of Florida as the Buffalo Bills' 2nd-round pick (59th overall) in 2023 after winning the 2022 Outland Trophy as the nation's top interior lineman. The Bills installed him at right guard from week one of his rookie year to anchor Josh Allen's protection. His STTM career runs tier 8 (#88) rookie, tier 8 (#91) sophomore, and tier 8 (#66) in 2025, three straight tier 8 finishes that's well below the year-three median for 2nd-round IOL prospects.
Strengths
- 2022 Outland Trophy as the nation's top interior lineman plus the 59th overall pick establishes a top-20 IOL technical pedigree.
- 25-spot year-over-year improvement from tier 8 (#91) in 2024 to tier 8 (#66) in 2025 shows trajectory, even if absolute level is still tier 8.
Concerns
- Three straight tier 8 finishes for an Outland Trophy winner is well below the year-three median for 2nd-round IOLs on Pro Bowl trajectories.
- Buffalo's cap structure around Josh Allen's QB contract limits the extension runway if the tier 8 trajectory continues.
What to watch: Whether Torrence crosses into tier 6 (top 50) in 2026, the standard year-four threshold for 2nd-round IOLs on stable-starter trajectories.
