by Summer is here, and it is everyone’s favorite time of the year, exploration time. Every year we do summer scouting to view an example of university football for Vikings fans, but they also give an idea of names to follow and view in the fall, while the needs for Minnesota appear.
Are we going to write about Quarterbacks? You know, but why? Because other NFL teams will prepare them, just as they will draw up any other position. It all makes a difference whether these players end up on the Vikings, the Bears or the Steelers. We write this so that Vikings fans can be the most informed fans.
So if you are still with us, you can enjoy our latest summer scout report while we prepare you for autumn.

Summary of the player
Tanner Koziol goes from the Mac to Big 12 in 2025, and in the process he has the chance to become one of the best tight ends in the country. From the point of view of Prospect there is a lot to be found in the former Ball State product. He thrives as a runner who absorbs meters after the catch and can easily be the top option of a team like a tight end. Koziol also has a good route and blocking power, but can get even better with the right coaching. He is your excellent example of the basis for a successful professional, who is now on his way to a more difficult conference and will eventually bring out the NFL, and the best in him.
