Summer is here, sort of, and it is everyone’s favorite time of the year, scouting time. Every year, we do Summer Scouting to preview college football for Vikings fans, but also give them an idea of names to follow and watch in the fall as needs pop up for Minnesota.
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 Vikings, the Bears, or the Steelers. We write these so Vikings 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
Bray Hubbard reminded me of why he was one of my favorite players last Summer. His film is riddled with him making plays he has no business pulling off, changing the dynamic of the game, and setting a tone for the defense. Hubbard is a really fun safety prospect, and his style of play fits what the NFL is starting to favor in terms of what they want out of the position. 2026 will be massive for him because if he puts up a second straight year of good film, his draft value will be very interesting to gauge.
