The Summer Scouting series highlights Jacob Ponton, an offensive tackle from Texas Tech, as a key player for college football fans to watch. This report aims to inform Tampa Bay Buccaneers fans about potential draft picks as the fall season approaches.
Summer is here, sort of, and it is everyoneâs 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? Offensive tackles? Edge rushers? 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.
One of the bigger offensive tackles in the class, Jacon Ponton, is a piece of clay right now with a lot of moldability left in him. He has played in just 18 games, so he is just scratching the surface of his potential. I like his footwork, how quick he moves for his size, and the athleticism he showcases when asked to move. Texas Tech will likely be in some big games once again in 2026, which will allow him to showcase himself.
