EA Sports released its first NCAA football video game in 11 years on Monday, College Football 25 .
While many college football fans are already on “Year 5” of their respective rebuilds, some players haven’t been able to get their hands on the new product just yet. With the new game releasing a good month and a half before the start of the regular season, it’s hard to determine how well each team should be rated. We have learned from the early release that Auburn boasts a top 20 defensive in the game despite departures from a few dominant Tigers . The overall defensive grade makes sense after Auburn finished with the No. 23 rated defensive efficiency last season according to ESPN FPI.
Still, ranking individual players, especially new faces, is an extremely difficult task. That did not stop EA Sports from giving it the good old college try however. Here’s a look at Auburn’s top 10 offensive players in EA Sports College Football 25 .
