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.

Terrance Carter Jr. had a big first year at Texas Tech, and he returns in 2026 to capitalize on it all one last time. He showed in 2026 that the speed and athleticism remain from what we saw in 2025, but he added some strength and an ability to run through defenders to pick up extra yards. Carter will be toward the top of the tight end rankings for me, and is someone who I feel can even finish in the top rankings when we get around to them next Spring.
