Predicting the 10 highest-rated players in ‘College Football 25’

For the first time in over a decade, Electronic Arts is back in the college football video game scene.

EA stopped producing college football video games following the 2013 release of “NCAA Football 14,” partly due to a lawsuit from former UCLA basketball star Ed O’Bannon over name, image and likeness rights. However, the 2021 rule changes regarding NIL opened the door for EA to make college football video games again, beginning with “College Football 25.”

In preparation for the game’s launch, which is set for July 19, EA is releasing several rankings this week, including the toughest places to place, top offenses and defenses and overall team power rankings. While it’s possible that we won’t know individual ratings until the game is released, several players have already made cases to be rated highly.

With that in mind, here are our predictions for the top-10 highest-rated players in “College Football 25.”
