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
Phillip Daniels is an interesting study because there are moments you find yourself fully invested, and then others where you are out. When you are in it is because you are seeing the physical ability he has to overpower guys, knock them out of plays, and not back down and try to set the tone against the likes of Colin Simmons. However, there are also times when you do not see a tackle as much as a guard based on how he finds success when he is moving or when he is finding more success in run blocking. Either way, he is a tough study, and 2026 will be pivotal to his story for the next draft cycle.
