​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.IllinoisOregonListed at 6-4/230 lbs.3-Star prospect according to 247 SportsTransferred from UNLV to USCMountain West Freshman of the Year in 2023Second-team All-Mountain West in 2023Third-team All-Big Ten in 202531 Starts925 Pass attempts7,997 Passing yards8.6 Yards per attempt54 Big-time throws5 Turnover worthy play rateAverage depth of target is 9.5 yards71.3% Adjusted completion percentageMakes his progressions through his optionsCan make throws on the run and across his bodyDelivers throws to all levels of the field with touch and accuracyThrows receivers openKeeps his eyes downfield to make a play when navigating the pocketJayden Maiava is a really fun quarterback prospect who has a lot of traits that NFL teams are going to be in favor of. The touch and accuracy he demonstrates, especially on the run or across his body, is something to behold. He puts enough gas on his passes to make tight windows and avoid defenders making plays on them. He has good movement skills in the pocket, and while he could always take off, he would rather keep his eyes downfield, which isn’t common, and it allows him to make plays.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementThis article originally appeared on Bucs Wire: 2027 NFL Draft Summer Scouting Report: Jayden Maiava, QB, USC
