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
Dylan Stewart is as advertised when it comes to being hyped for the last couple of seasons. He was a monster as a freshman, was a bit more calm of a storm as a sophomore, but this year as a junior, he is poised for a special season. His physical traits allow him to overpower tackles, he is twitchy with his moves, and he uses his length to win reps time and again. He will be graded as one of the best players in the class, and he will be a tone-setter this fall.
