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? 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
DeAndre Moore Jr. somehow flies under the radar in the Texas offense. It may have to do with how loaded it is, but with some players departing for the NFL, the 2025 season may be his time to shine. Moore Jr. is a strong player at the line scrimmage as a blocker, and when he has the ball in his hands, he can run through arm tackles as well. When he has defenders face him more head-on, he demonstrates reliable contact balance to keep momentum and pick up extra yards. He will have a chance to grow more in 2025, and if he does, look for him to see his name talked about much more in the new year than it was this Summer.
