With EA Sports College Football 26 dropping in July, these are the quarterbacks who should have the highest-rated arms in the game.
10 Players Who Should Have the Strongest Arms in EA Sports College Football 26
10) Carson Beck, Miami Hurricanes
Beck isn’t known for his arm strength, but he can definitely spin it. He was near the top of throw power ratings last year with a 94, and I expect him to be in the top 10 this year with a similar rating.
9) LaNorris Sellers, South Carolina Gamecocks
Lanorris Sellers wasn’t in the top 10 in throw power last year, but he climbed throughout, finishing the season with a 93 rating. I think that number will jump up even more in this year’s game, and he’ll be inside of the top 10.
8) JJ Kohl, Appalachian State Mountaineers
JJ Khol stands at 6’7″ and has a cannon. He’ll compete for App State’s starting job this year and already had a 97 throw power rating in last year’s game.
7) Garrett Nussmeier, LSU Tigers
Nussmeier finished off the season with a 96 throw power rating, and I think he’ll be at or above that mark heading into the ’26 edition of the game. If you watched LSU last year, it’s clear that Nuss has a rocket arm.
6) DJ Lagway, Florida Gators
Lagway had a 96 throw power rating as a true freshman. He demonstrated it on the field in his eight starts last year, and with another offseason gone by, I wouldn’t be surprised if EA raises it by one.
5) Austin Mack, Alabama Crimson Tide
Austin Mack had the highest-rated arm in the entire game last season with 98 throw power. I expect that number to drop in the ’26 edition, but he should still be in the top five.
4) Arch Manning, Texas Longhorns
Arch Manning already had a top 10 arm in last year’s game, and I think he’ll be around 96 or 97 throw power in this year’s game as he becomes the full-time starter for Texas
3) Dylan Raiola, Nebraska Cornhuskers (95)
Raiola consistently gets compared to Patrick Mahomes, and while I find most of those comps ridiculous, he does have unreal arm talent. He had a 95 throw power rating last game, and I think that it will be even higher in the new game.

2) Drew Allar, Penn State Nittany Lions (97)
Drew Allar finished off the year with a 97 throw power rating, tied for second in the entire game. I doubt that number drops in the ’26 edition, and he should be rated either number one or two for arm strength.
1) Nico Iamaleava, UCLA Bruins (97)
Nico Iamaleava was also tied for the second strongest arm in last year’s game with 97 throw power. I don’t see that number dropping, and like Allar, I expect him to be either first or tied for first in EA College Football 26.
