EA Sports College Football 25 was released on Monday to those who ordered the deluxe version of the game or have an EA Play membership, giving the world an early view of the highly-anticipated video game.
The sports media has pounced on the topic since its 4 p.m. ET release and many have already expressed their excitement after playing the first update to the game in over a decade. CBS Sports had its staff try out all 134 teams featured in EA Sports’ latest offering, with Brad Crawford drawing the Southeastern Conference.
That includes the Florida Gators — a program that he decided to mix things up under center to see what the squad can do on offense.
“We’re not downing Graham Mertz here, but go ahead and rip the band-aid off in Gainesville with a freshman starter at quarterback and see what you can get out of five-star DJ Lagway,” Crawford said. “Throw it to wideout Eugene Wilson, who might be the SEC’s best-kept secret.
According to the in-game ratings, Mertz is valued at 84 while Lagway gets an 80 rating in his true freshman year. Wilson earns an 86 rating, but do not sleep on incoming transfer Elijhah Badger, who earned an 85 rating.
Running back Montrell Johnson and offensive lineman Jake Slaughter hold the best rating on the offensive side of the ball at 87.
