  "account": "The Tampa Bay Buccaneers sent scouts to watch Texas Tech's No. 13 against Houston's No. 22 on Friday night. Among the players evaluated were Houston defensive back Jalen Mayo, who made an incredible one-handed interception near the end zone. Mayo, a 6-foot-2, 190-pound corner, is in his fifth college season and could be a potential 2027 NFL Draft prospect. Texas Tech also provided Tampa Bay with a look at defensive lineman A.J. Holmes Jr. and linebacker Ben Roberts, both of whom were named to the Big 12's preseason All teams. Houston's offensive lineman Shadre Hurst, a 6-foot-2, 304-pound fifth-year player, was another name of interest. While a single game doesn't confirm any interest, Mayo's remarkable play caught the Buccaneers' attention as the draft class of 2027 begins to take shape.",
