Shedeur Sanders is the highest-rated QB in the game.
EA Sports released the individual player rating for their upcoming College Football 25 video game and two Buffs managed to break into the top 20. QB Shedeur Sanders and ATH Travis Hunter made it into the 90 overall club, with Sanders sitting at a 93 overall and Hunter at 95.
Colorado’s players found out their overall ratings at Big 12 Media Day on Wednesday and some Buffaloes weren’t too jazzed things shook out.
Shedeur is tied as the highest-rated quarterback in the game, sharing the title with Georgia’s Carson Beck. Shedeur wasn’t upset with his rating itself, but he took issue with having to share the title of top QB with another player.
“It’s a tie, I don’t believe in ties when it comes to quarterbacks,” said Shedeur when asked if he was satisfied with his rating. “When it comes to quarterback ratings, it’s either winner or loser.”
Colorado safety Shilo Sanders didn’t crack the top 100 players in the game like Travis and Shedeur, but his overall rating isn’t too shabby.
I got to catch up with Shilo at Allegiant Stadium in Vegas on Wednesday and got him to spill the beans on his overall rating. At long last, allow me to break the news of what Shilo is rated in College Football 25:
“They put me as an 86 overall,” Sanders told media members. “My hitting power is probably the highest in the game. I don’t know if it is, but I think it is.”
Hunter is the highest-rated WR in the game, with the second-highest player being Mizzou’s Luther Burden Jr. with an overall rating of 94. Hunter’s awareness and jump stat are both 97, while his strength rating is lacking at 67. It is currently unknown what his rating at cornerback will be.
Unfortunately, Hunter wasn’t at Big 12 Media Day to share his reaction. Based on the fact that he’s the sixth-highest-rated player in the entire game, it’s likely safe to say he isn’t too upset about his score.
College Football 25 will be released to the general public in only eight days, so Colorado fans are close to finally seeing the revival of the beloved series after an 11-year hiatus.
As for Shedeur Sanders and Colorado’s players, they can rest assured that they’ll be able to raise their rating based on their on-field performance this year. If Shedeur wants to emerge as the top QB in the game, leading the Buffs to some tough non-conference games would be a good way to do that.
