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
Full disclosure, Earnest Greene didn’t get me excited too much when watching his film back. If anything I started to see a but why Monroe Freeling had the rise he did, but opposite him with Greene I was left wanting more out of his reps. What I did see was some ability to overpower defenders, quick feet for his size, and a powerful grip to make sure he maintains leverage. He certainly has the tools to develop a bit more in 2026 so I am not counting him out by any means, but I need to see a bit more.
