How did EA Sports rate Oklahoma’s defense in ‘College Football 25?’

EA Sports is releasing “College Football 25” on July 19 and fans are excited for the return of the college football video game series.

The defensive line sees some change but still has Ethan Downs leading the way up front. Da’Jon Terry and Trace Ford are veterans who will aid in the development of younger players like Damonic Williams, R Mason Thomas, Jayden Jackson, Adepoju Adebawroe, and David Stone. The defensive line is in a solid place moving forward even after losing Jordan Kelley, Isaiah Coe, Jonah Laulu and Rondell Bothroyd.

The strength of the defense is the talent and depth at linebacker. At the inside spots, Danny Stutsman returns as the heart and soul of the unit. Jaren Kanak, Kobie McKinzie, Kip Lewis and Lewis Carter will all see plenty of snaps alongside Stutsman. The loss of Justin Harrington at the cheetah position stings, but…
