Summer is here, sort of, 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? 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.

Player Summary
Jadan Baugh will enter the year as my RB1 by a decent margin. The Florida running back is in a special class in terms of Gator running backs, where he is doing things we haven’t seen since Emmitt Smith ran through the swamp. Baugh makes defenders miss at the line before showing his strength to run through arm tackles. His burst is especially impressive considering his size he has. He parlays that into also being efficient in short-yardage situations and at the goal line.
