2027 NFL Draft Summer Scouting Report: Ryan Wingo, WR, Texas

[ASFN Admin]

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 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​

Ryan Wingo has a lot of potential to be a big riser in the 2027 NFL Draft wide receiver class if he can clean up a few things. The body control and awareness are there as he can work the middle of the field. What is lacking is the route running and hand consistency from a top-end wide receiver. He is a tough study, but the good makes flashes enough that someone is going to be invested in him. He won’t be high in my rankings, but he could be by the end of the season.
