Summer is officially here, and for football fans, that means one thing: scouting season is in full swing. Every year, we dive into our Summer Scouting series to preview college football's rising stars, giving Tampa Bay Buccaneers fans a head start on the names to watch this fall. Whether these players end up in pewter and red, wearing the Bears' navy, or suiting up for the Steelers, every draft prospect matters—and we want you to be the most informed fan in the room.

This time, we're turning our attention to the offensive line, where Iowa's Trevor Lauck is making serious noise. A first-team All-Conference, All-County, and All-State standout in high school, Lauck has carried that pedigree into the college ranks with impressive consistency. He excels in run support, especially when pulling, showing quick, decisive movements that allow him to generate real power as he builds momentum. Even when he's beaten or caught off balance, his recovery skills keep him in the play.

Lauck is technically sound and plays with a controlled aggression that stands out on tape. In the run game, he can be a bulldozer, clearing lanes with authority. In pass protection, he seals the edge with discipline and footwork. As the next Iowa Hawkeye poised to climb draft boards, Lauck has all the tools to become one of the top all-around tackle prospects in the 2027 class—especially if he delivers a strong 2026 campaign.

Keep an eye on this name as the season approaches. Whether you're a Bucs fan or just love tracking future NFL talent, Trevor Lauck is a player worth watching.
