2027 NFL Draft Summer Scouting Report: Jordan Church, G, Texas Tech

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 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. 

So if you are still with us, enjoy our latest Summer Scouting report as we prepare you for the Fall.

Jordan Church has the physical traits you want from an interior blocker, but he lacks the showcase of skills to make him someone you want to install. The size, length, and power with which he generates flashes at times and it leads you to believe he can be something. However, once the ball is snapped, he seems like a deer in headlights more often than not. 2026 will be a big year for him, as I believe Texas Tech may be the team to get him on track, but if they can’t, his draft potential is in serious question.
