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.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementSo if you are still with us, enjoy our latest Summer Scouting report as we prepare you for the Fall.Kansas StateListed at 6-2/198 lbs.3-Star prospect according to 247 SportsTransferred from TCU to IndianaDistrict 10-6A Offensive Most Valuable Player as a junior in high schoolPlayed baseball in high schoolDad played linebacker in the NFL31 Starts1,183 Pass attempts9,629 Passing yards8.1 Yards per attempt54 Big-time throws3.8 Turnover worthy play rateAverage depth of target is 8.6 yards73.9% Adjusted completion percentageGood arm strengthSmooth release and gets the ball out quicklyExcellent awareness and pocket presenceCan be a playmaker with his legs to extend it and avoid pressureCan throw his receivers openJosh Hoover is going to be really interesting to see unfold and develop further at Indiana. Fernando Mendoza was more polished than Hoover is right now heading to Bloomington, and the rise won’t be the same, but round one is there. His arm strength will do a lot of the heavy lifting for the Hoosiers, and the offensive line will be the best he has ever had. All of that should allow him to flash his arm talent and ability to make throws to every level while playing against tough defenses.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementThis article originally appeared on Bucs Wire: 2027 NFL Draft Summer Scouting Report: Josh Hoover, QB, Indiana
