Summer is here, and it is everyone’s favorite time of the year, scouting time. Every year, we do Summer Scouting to preview college football for Vikings fans, but also give them an idea of names to follow and watch in the fall as needs pop up for Minnesota.
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 Vikings, the Bears, or the Steelers. We write these so Vikings 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.
For the second Summer in a row, I am writing that LaNorris Sellers has the traits to be QB1 in this class. That said, he just struggles to maintain consistency in his passing and playmaking. What he does show is the flashes of arm talent, the speed and power as a runner, and the playmaking ability that will have folks excited in the NFL. South Carolina is trying to give him the best team he has ever had in 2026, and if they do, then we could be talking about a top 10 pick in April. However, if the pieces fall apart, then we are looking at a Drew Allar-type of fall.
