EA is set to release rankings for the top offenses and defenses in College Football 25 on Thursday, with the teams atop the ESPN Power Index expected to dominate the lists. While the rankings will be based on entire units, it’s the star players that truly drive these top teams. In an early version of the game, none of the player ratings were final, but there are some players who could potentially be rated 99 overall when the game launches.
One player to look out for is Travis Hunter, the cover athlete and star player for the Colorado Buffaloes. Hunter, a two-way star known for his electrifying speed on both offense and defense, is likely to be ranked highly in the game. With impressive stats as a receiver and cornerback, Hunter is a dynamic athlete who could potentially even be ranked at the top spot in the game. If not a 99 overall, he is expected to have a rating in the high 90s based on his performance on the field.
James Pearce of the Tennessee Volunteers is another player to watch in College Football 25, despite his team not being one of the top-rated defenses. Pearce, a talented edge defender with impressive stats from the 2023 season, is touted as a potential No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. With his dynamic skills on the field, Pearce is expected to receive respect in the game with a high rating, likely above 92.
On the offensive side, LSU’s Will Campbell is considered one of the best offensive linemen in the upcoming NFL Draft. With a combination of strength, power, and tenacity, Campbell has been a key player in protecting top quarterbacks like Jayden Daniels. In the game, Campbell’s role in safeguarding key players like Garrett Nussmeier will be crucial, potentially making him one of the best players in the nation in College Football 25.
