Ahead of the official release of the highly anticipated College Football 25 video game on Friday, July 19, those with early access to the game can finally assess the accuracy concerning the player ratings with the 2024 college football season less than two months away.
While, yes, this is just a video game on its face, it’s been over a decade since EA Sports released a new iteration of the franchise due to NIL issues that finally resulted in a widely accepted agreement among nearly every active player, as their name, image, and likeness can now be used to make the gaming experience as realistic as possible.
For Texas A&M, new head coach Mike Elko has inherited a very talented and experienced roster with plenty to prove while gaining nearly 30 veterans from the transfer portal as soon as he stepped on campus. Led by several stars on both sides of the ball, ten Texas A&M starters that every Aggie fan is familiar with have earned the highest ratings on the team, so let’s have some fun and rank these players.
