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.
Laloulu is one of the better interior blockers in the college football landscape. His size on paper may not be the best, but he showcases himself to be worthy of your attention with his athleticism and power. He showcases good awareness, and he is never caught off guard by what defenses throw at him. He should be an interesting prospect to watch and will need to ace the process next cycle to really cement himself in the top tier, I believe he can be in.
