Summer is here, and it is everyone’s favorite time of the year, scouting time. Every year, we do Summer Scouting to preview college football for Bucs fans, but also give them an idea of names to follow and watch in the fall as needs pop up for Tampa Bay. 

Are we going to write about quarterbacks? You know it, but why? Because other NFL teams will draft them, just as they will draft every other position. It all matters whether these players end up on the Bucs, the Bears, or the Steelers. We write these so Bucs fans can be the most informed fans. 

So if you are still with us, enjoy our latest Summer Scouting report as we prepare you for the Fall.

Player Summary

Eric Singleton Jr. is a unique study, but there are parts to his game that have me excited to see what he can do at Auburn. His best game last year was against Georgia, where he showed the ability to win in various ways. Seeing a full season of SEC film should allow us to get a clearer picture. He has a chance to win with his awareness, body control, and hands. While they are simple traits, they are a good foundation from which any receiver can build. Georgia Tech used him all over, but Hugh Freeze in his offense should be able to get him in a position to maximize his ability and production to see where he can be most impactful.
