It’s been more than 10 years since the last time a college football video game was on the horizon, but on Wednesday, EA Sports announced College Football 25 will be available in the summer.
Fans across the country, including myself, have already begun speculating what will be included in the new game and what will not. After all, college football looks completely different than in 2014, the last time we had an NCAA game. It will be interesting to see how EA implements the changes.

247Sports joined the speculation by guessing who the highest-rated returning players will be. It’s no surprise that running back Ollie Gordon, the 2023 Doak Walker Award winner, tops the site’s list (99 overall). Travis Hunter, the Colorado Buffaloes two-way star, is a 97 overall. And Dillon Gabriel, the next great Oregon quarterback, is a 94 overall, tied for the third-best QB on the list.

One aspect that will set Gabriel apart in EA’s new game is speed and elusiveness. Back in NCAA 14, there were few things more fun than running around with Gabriel’s childhood hero Marcus Mariota. Gabriel possesses many of the same running traits as Mariota. Of all the QBs on 247 Sports’ list, Gabriel and Jalon Daniels are the quickest, which will make Gabriel a lot of fun to play with.
