After a decade-long hiatus, the much-anticipated EA Sports College Football 25 is set to make its grand return on July 19. Fans of college football can now experience the excitement on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and S, complete with rosters featuring the likenesses of current collegiate athletes for the first time in the history of college sports video games.

Among the standout features of the game is the inclusion of real-life players, with Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers, Michigan's Donovan Edwards, and Colorado's two-way star Travis Hunter gracing the cover. Ewers, in particular, has been a central figure in the game's marketing, appearing prominently in trailers and promotional material.

This week, EA Sports revealed the top 100 players in the game, and two Texas Longhorns made the prestigious list. Left tackle Kelvin Banks Jr., with an impressive overall rating of 94, is ranked as the 13th highest-rated player in the game and the third-best offensive lineman. Banks has been a cornerstone of the Longhorns' offensive line since 2022, earning freshman All-American honors and second-team All-American status in 2023. His strength and awareness ratings highlight his critical role in protecting Texas quarterbacks.

Quinn Ewers, who has generated significant excitement ahead of the 2024 season, boasts an overall rating of 92. His impressive speed and acceleration ratings reflect his improved mobility, a result of off-season conditioning. Ewers' awareness rating of 97 underscores his performance in leading one of the nation's top teams, despite missing two starts last season. His impressive stats from last year—nearly 3,500 passing yards, 22 touchdowns, and a 69% completion rate—solidify his status as a top-tier quarterback in the game.

Ewers is ranked alongside Oregon's Dillon Gabriel as the third-best quarterback in EA Sports College Football 25, just behind Georgia's Carson Beck and Colorado's Shedeur Sanders. His presence on the cover and his high rating in the game mark him as a player to watch, both on the virtual field and in real life.

As fans eagerly await the release of EA Sports College Football 25, the return of this iconic series promises to deliver an authentic and thrilling gaming experience, celebrating the passion and talent of college football athletes.
