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
An absolute blast to watch, Logan Jones is a mauler in every sense of the word. The Hawkeye center is a bonafide athlete at the position and is one of the best in the nation at his position. He does a tremendous job using his power to knock defenders off their path, as well as getting leverage and flat-out taking them out of plays. In the run game, he is a bulldozer, creating his own running lanes for his offense. Jones is hard to gauge where he will go, but I know whoever gets him will have a plug-and-play center in 2026.
