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
Coen Echols isn’t the best player coming out of the LSU offensive line, but Texas A&M may be the one who can fix him. The physical traits and chippiness you want from interior linemen are there for him. What is lacking is the consistency in both run and pass blocking to be effective. He shows flashes of it, but the lack of consistency played a role in their offense being less than ideal in 2025. He will be a project for the Aggies, but Mike Elko and his staff have always done a good job of coaching up players with traits and that is Echols.
