Florida football's offensive line was named to the 2026 Joe Moore Award Midseason Honor Roll, the award's organization announced on Wednesday afternoon.
The Gators have one of 25 offensive line units named to the midseason list and one of six SEC teams, joined by Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky, Missouri, and Tennessee.
The offensive line unit, led by starters Bryce Lovett, Knijeah Harris, Harrison Moore, TJ Shanahan Jr. and Emeka Ugorji, currently ranks fourth in the SEC in sacks allowed with eight, while PFF credits only four sacks allowed by the line. According to PFF, the unit has also allowed just five quarterback hits and 21 QB hurries on the season, while putting up a run-blocking grade of 70.2 — good for 21st in the country.
Thanks in large
part to the O-line, Florida is ranked 12th in scoring offense, 18th in total offense, 23rd in passing efficiency, 25th in passing offense and 34th in rushing offense among FBS schools so far this season.
About the Joe Moore Award
Founded in 2015 and presented by the Foundation for Teamwork, the Joe Moore Award is given to the most outstanding offensive line unit in college football — the only major award in the sport given to a group rather than an individual.
There are no personal statistics to chase and no individual names on the trophy, only the standard Joe Moore demanded: toughness, teamwork, and five men playing as one. It’s voted on by the people who would know — every FBS offensive line coach, former linemen in the media and a legacy committee of the men who played for and coached alongside Moore.
The credo says it plainly: "I am because of Us."
