All eyes in the football world are on Mobile, Alabama this week as 120-plus prospects take part in the 2026 Panini Senior Bowl. Since 1950, the Senior Bowl has been one of the premiere ways to gain notoriety ahead of the NFL Draft. Players such as Baker Mayfield, Josh Allen and Justin Herbert took advantage of the collegiate all-star showcase to rise above the rest of their class. Plenty more look to do the same throughout the week.

As it stands, the Buccaneers are awaiting several key decisions from potential unrestricted free agents with the negotiation period opening roughly six weeks away. This offseason, the team is looking to retool its offensive production after taking a step back from its 2024 success. Earlier this week, the Buccaneers introduced Zac Robinson as their offensive coordinator and several participants in this Senior Bowl program appear to be natural fits for his system.

Let's take a look at the top-five offensive prospects at the Panini Senior Bowl who could interest the Buccaneers in the 2026 NFL Draft.

1. RB Nicholas Singleton - Penn State

With Rachaad White and Sean Tucker both needing new contracts, there is a possibility the Bucs could look to add another ball-carrier to the backfield. Penn State's Nicholas Singleton would provide a potent punch.

Singleton has a unique mixture of power and speed you seldom see from a back his size. At 6-foot, 224 pounds, the senior has been a consistent playmaker during his time in Happy Valley. He earned multiple Big-Ten honors throughout his career, including 2022 Freshman of the Year and an honorable mention in 2024. Singleton finishes his career with 4,448 scrimmage yards and 54 total touchdowns, setting the school record for career touchdowns.

Even with a dip in production in 2025, Singleton still has the tools to be a dynamic running back. Once he finds open field, he is gone. Singleton also shows strength at the line of scrimmage, always powering through contact for extra yards. He looks comfortable while running routes, producing mismatches against defensive backs.

Singleton entered the season as a potential first-round talent but has slid to the second or third round after a less productive senior year. Even without top-tier elusiveness, Singleton has home-run potential and would be a strong addition to the Buccaneers' running back room in 2026.

2. TE Justin Joly - North Carolina State

If the Buccaneers want to add another dynamic threat to their passing attack, Justin Joly is your guy.

The 6-foot-3, 251-pound tight end spent his first two seasons at Connecticut before transferring to North Carolina State ahead of the 2024 season. Joly has developed into a proven commodity on the field, thriving for the Wolfpack the past two seasons. Last year, he totaled 489 yards and led the team with seven receiving touchdowns. Joly's efforts were rewarded with a first-team All-ACC selection along with being named a semifinalist for the John Mackey Award, given to the nation's most outstanding tight end.

Coming down with difficult catches is Joly's calling card. His ability to high-point passes consistently creates problems for opposing secondaries. The New-York-native's concentration allows him to stay focused and secure the catch through traffic, relying on natural instincts as a receiver. He is also a fluid route runner with a diverse route tree, able to track the ball with ease and move the chains.

Teams would love to see Joly improve as a more reliable pass and run blocker. Additionally, he may lack the speed to expose safeties at the next level. With all that in mind, he projects as an elite red zone threat and top-10 tight end in the upcoming class. Most mock drafts have him as a third-round pick, with a chance to significantly raise his draft stock at the Senior Bowl and the Combine next month.

3. WR Ja'Kobi Lane - USC

One deep threat not enough? Have another!

It is clear that Tampa Bay has an abundance of wealth in the receiving room. The team solidified the future at the position by landing impact players in back-to-back drafts, drafting Jalen McMillan, Emeka Egbuka and Tez Johnson over the past two years. That being said, Mike Evans' future is currently unknown. Many are hopeful he will remain a Buccaneer in 2026 but even if Evans does return, adding another big target would be a smart plan for the future. Enter USC's Ja'Kobi Lane.

Lane is a 6-foot-4, 200-pound receiver that knows his role well: see ball, get ball. The junior is a terrifying touchdown threat, scoring 12 his sophomore season in 2024. In 2025, Lane averaged 15.2 yards per reception en route to becoming a third-team All-Big Ten selection before declaring for the draft this past December. His lean frame makes him more susceptible to getting knocked off his route at the line of scrimmage and he does not possess the extra gear to create significant separation on sticky man coverage. However, if put in the right system, he will cause opposing defensive coordinators to stress as they figure out ways to keep him out of the promised land. The Senior Bowl gives Lane an opportunity to prove what he can do and to solidify his status as a Day Two pick.

4. QB Sawyer Robertson - Baylor

Baylor's Sawyer Robertson represents a great option to be Baker Mayfield's backup in 2026 and beyond. In 2025, the 6-foot-4 senior led the Big 12 in passing yards (3,681), passing touchdowns (31) and yards per game (306.8) while earning a second-team selection from the conference. His best game of his career came in Week Two against SMU, when he threw for 440 yards and four touchdowns in a double-overtime road thriller.

Robertson could improve his deep-ball placement and accuracy under pressure, but what stands out is his arm talent. He is not scared to challenge tight windows, throwing with full confidence in his wide receivers. Robertson is also a clear leader with the mental toughness and work ethic to endear himself to an NFL locker room. His draft stock currently places him as a sixth-round pick and Tampa would be an ideal city for him to learn and develop his game.

5. OL Gennings Dunker - Iowa

We finish our list of offensive prospects by offering an option for the offensive line. Last year, the group was hit hard by injuries, which caused the ground game to lose momentum in 2025. As it stands, the Buccaneers' starting line appears set for 2026 and the prospect I will discuss will have the potential to start right away for any team across the league. If Jason Licht and company decide to beef up the trenches, there would not be a better way to do it than with Gennings Dunker.

With his long scarlet mullet and mustache, Dunker manned right tackle in Iowa's Joe Moore Award-winning offensive line, which honors the best unit in the country. Standing at 6-foot-5, 320 pounds, the senior earned second-team All-Big Ten honors in back-to-back seasons while achieving Academic All-Big Ten recognition every year of his college career.

Dunker boasts a strong, durable frame with a physical style that matches his power. He protects with a violent attack that prevents defenders from gaining leverage, knocking them off balance en route to the backfield. His limited mobility may hinder his success on the outside, but most scouts expect Dunker to move to guard, where he can maximize his skillset at the next level.

The Iowa Hawkeye is clearly one of the top offensive line prospects, with most projections placing him in the second or third round. There is a chance he could jump all the way to the first round. Licht has a history of selecting the best player available and if the fit is right, Dunker could call Tampa Bay his home.
