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.
Austin Siereveld surprised folks to a degree when he said he was heading back to school for the 2026 season. When you watch his 2025 film, you see a tackle prospect who could have been a fringe round one guy, but the foundation is there for him to cement himself in that discussion. I really liked his base he establishes when pass blocking, he has quick footwork to make sure he can kick out or adjust to what the defense throws at him. My favorite part of his game is that he plays with a chip on his shoulder in a controlled way. Doesn’t get reckless with his aggression, but it allows him to play with an added edge that helps him.
