Overview:
Delance was the player that drew the most ire of Florida fans last season because of his lackluster performance at right tackle. But he is offensive line coach John Hevesy’s most experienced player as a redshirt senior.
He originally signed to play football for the Texas Longhorns out of high school where he played two games his freshman season for the Longhorn in 2016. Delance then entered the NCAA Transfer Portal and wound up with the Gators. He had to sit out the 2017 season due to transfer rules.
In his first season with Florida where he was eligible in 2018, he played in four games as a reserve offensive lineman. Delance became a starter in 2019 and started all 13 games. He also started all 12 games in 2020.
Despite his struggles at right tackle, Florida fans should expect him to start every game if he stays healthy because no other offensive linemen have pushed to take over his starting spot.
