EA Sports has recently revealed the highly anticipated list of the top 100 players in their upcoming game, College Football 25. Scheduled for release on July 16th, the game marks a significant milestone as it features current college football players with their real names and likenesses for the first time.

The blog post announcing the top 100 players highlighted three outstanding athletes who earned the highest rating of 96 overall. Michigan's talented cornerback, Will Johnson, LSU's impressive left tackle, Will Campbell, and Oklahoma State's skilled halfback, were crowned as the best players in College Football 25.

Interestingly, the cover stars of the game did not secure top positions on the list. Colorado's standout wide receiver, Travis Hunter, claimed the 6th spot, while Texas' quarterback, Quinn Ewers, landed at a respectable 27th position. Michigan's renowned running back, Donovan Edwards, secured the 49th rank, highlighting the depth of talent in the game.

The decision to include current college football players with their real names and images in College Football 25 came after a pivotal Supreme Court ruling. The court granted these players the right to enter into name, image, and likeness deals while participating in collegiate athletics. As a result, approximately 14,000 college football players opted to be featured in the game, giving EA Sports consent to use their identities.

To show their appreciation, EA Sports will reward these players with $600 and a copy of College Football 25. This gesture acknowledges the significance of these individuals' contribution to the game and their involvement in elevating the overall experience for players and fans alike.

The game is set to be released on July 16th exclusively for the PS5 and Xbox Series X and S consoles. The Deluxe Edition, priced at $99.99, will grant early access to eager fans who want to get their hands on the game a few days ahead. Those purchasing the standard edition for $69.99 will have to wait until July 19th to dive into the exciting virtual college football experience.

EA Sports has already provided detailed insights into the gameplay, Dynasty Mode, and College Ultimate Team for College Football 25. IGN, a renowned gaming platform, has also offered an extensive preview of the highly anticipated game, building up the excitement among eager fans.

As the release date draws near, fans and gamers alike eagerly await the opportunity to experience College Football 25, where they can fully immerse themselves in the excitement, skill, and drama of collegiate football.
