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
Antonio Williams has been a fixture in the Tiger offense since he arrived at Clemson as a freshman. He finally broke through in 2024 and is now poised for his biggest season yet in 2025, and could find himself competing for the WR1 spot with a repeat of his 2024 campaign. He is listed at 5-11, 190 lbs. But plays much bigger to the pride of Cade Klubnik. He really impresses with his route running, specifically his cuts and decision-making. He has no wasted movement and has excellent body control throughout. As a result, he is one of the better route runners I have watched this summer and is a must-watch this fall.
