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
Nick Singletoj could have declared for the 2024 NFL Draft but he seemingly didn’t want to be lost in a log jam of a class. In the 2025 NFL Draft running back group, he has a chance to separate himself in a thinner class. Singleton can be a homerun threat with each touch of the ball, he has good body control, and his underrated pass catching ability allows him to have versatility within offenses. He has solid change of direction skills and body control which allows him to run inside or out, as a result, he fits into a variety of systems.
