With EA Sports College Football 26 dropping in July, these are the players who should have the highest speed rating in the game.
Projecting the 10 Fastest Players in EA Sports College Football 26
10) Domani Jackson, CB, Alabama Crimson Tide
Not only is Domani Jackson a very talented cornerback, but he’s incredibly fast. His straight line speed is some of the best in the entire country, and Jackson had a 98 speed rating in last year’s game.
9) Che Nwabuko, WR, Pittsburgh Panthers
Che Nwabuko isn’t the most talented receiver, but man, oh man, can he burn. He’s utilized as a Swiss army knife for Pitt and should have a 98 speed rating like he did in the ’25 edition of the game.
8) King Mack, SAF, Penn State Nittany Lions
King Mack is the fastest safety in the entire country. He transferred from Alabama to Penn State this offseason, where he should see some solid playing time. He finished last year with a 98 speed rating, and that should be the same next year.
7) Brennan Thompson, WR, Mississippi State Bulldogs
Brenen Thompson did not play much for Oklahoma last year, but transferred to Mississippi State, where he could see more playing time and get to show off his elite speed. The game had its wheels ranked as a 98 last year, and it should be the same this year.
6) Jaleani, Watkins, WR, LSU Tigers
Jaleani Watkins had a 98 speed rating in last year’s game as a true freshman, which was the second highest among all freshmen. I think he’ll come in with the same rating, but with a boost in playing time this year, he might finish at a 99 rating.
5) Barion Brown, WR, LSU Tigers
Barrion Brown transferred from Kentucky to LSU this offseason, and his the ultimate deep threat. He had a 98 speed rating last season, and I expect it to be the same this season.
4) Dijon Stanley, RB, New Mexico State Aggies
Dijon Stanley is the fastest running back in the country. He didn’t get to play much last season for Utah, but now that he’s at New Mexico State, he should shine and be a home run threat every time he touches the ball.
3) Jordan Anthony, WR, Arkansas
Jordan Anthony only caught eight passes for Arkansas in 2024, but should have a bigger role this year. He was a track star in high school, and EA graded his speed as a 98 overall in the ’25 edition of the game.

2) Rodney Pleasant, CB, UCLA Bruins
Rodney Pleasant was one of two players who were given 99 speed in EA College Football ’25. Pleasant transferred from Oregon to UCLA this offseason, where he should play a much bigger role and show off that speed a little more.
1) Nyck Harbor, WR, South Carolina Gamecocks
Nyck Harbor was the other player who was given 99 speed in EA College Football 25. He was an elite track runner in high school, and I hope the Gamecocks give him the opportunity to see the field more in 2025.
