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
Bray Hubbard is one of my favorite players I have watched this Summer. On film, you see a player that has instincts for the ball and plays at 110 mph. When you hear about his back story and how he waited for his chance to start, you cannot help but be a fan. He produced big-time numbers in a shortened season in terms of starting reps. 2025 has a chance to be a special season for him. Look for Hubbard to be one of the major playmakers on the Crimson Tide defense with his ball skills, physical style, and closing ability to stop plays before they develop more than a defense likes.
