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
P.J. Williams is a very fun offensive tackle prospect in the 2027 class if he declares. He is very much an athlete in a big body, and he plays like it. I enjoy seeing him match up with several notable pass rushers and holding his own, in fact event imposing his will on them at times. Williams also moves extremely well for his size and can be utilized in a variety of ways. He can be a bulldozer in the run blocking game and also anchor well when in pass pro. He has some moments where he gets caught, so he isn’t a finished product, but there is a lot to be excited about with him.
