The excitement surrounding EA Sports College Football 26 has reached new heights as cover stars and top players begin predicting their in-game ratings. With the game set to release on July 10, fans have taken to social media to debate whether these predictions accurately reflect each player’s performance.
EA Sports CFB 26 Cover Stars Face Heat as Fans Predict Player Ratings
On Tuesday night, EA Sports College revealed the cover stars for their upcoming game on X. Along with that, fans learned they can now pre-order EA Sports College Football 26, which makes sense, as the game is set to launch in just one month.
The announcement also confirmed which athletes will appear on the cover. So, players like Ryan Williams, DJ Lagway, and Garrett Nussmeier have already started guessing their overall ratings. Recently, college football YouTuber James Bordeaux shared an Instagram video featuring these players reacting to predictions about their ratings.

Lagway, the Florida Gators’ starting quarterback, expressed his hope to reach a 90 overall. However, not all fans agree with his optimism. One Instagram user bluntly stated, “Lagway is an 82 at best.”
Williams, an Alabama standout, believes his rating should improve from last season’s 90 overall due to his progression as a player. Meanwhile, Nussmeier, LSU’s starting QB, took a more humble approach, leaving his rating up to the developers.
His modesty earned praise from fans, with one commenting, “Great way to stay humble NUSS, you gone be 95 min. By playoff time 🐯. [sic]”
Another fan added, “I’d give Garrett an 89 platinum fan favorite badge.”
The debate didn’t stop there. Bryce Underwood, a highly touted Michigan prospect set to start for the Wolverines, also faced skepticism, with one fan predicting, “Underwood a 78 at best. He’ll be in the portal by December.”
Ohio State wide receiver Jeremiah Smith received overwhelming support, with one fan confidently declaring, “Jeremiah Smith 99+.”
