steady, versatile Gators lineman who rose into a championship anchor
Steve Rissler was a dependable Florida offensive lineman who appeared in 42 games and made 24 starts, including all 14 games at center for the 2006 national title team after moving inside from guard and tackle. His value was versatility, toughness, and experience — the kind of lineman coaches trust when the room gets thin and the stakes get loud. He also earned first-team All-SEC honors in 2006, which says a lot about his consistency and leadership. If you want a smart, battle-tested interior OL who can adapt fast, he fits the bill.
