EA Sports announced the top 100 football players for its anticipated College Football 26, and six Penn State players were included with all receiving solid 91 or above overall ratings.
Scheduled for release on July 10, the top player ratings of the game were released recently, and it's no shocker to see Penn State with a strong presence here. The mix of veteran leadership and dynamic youth on display from the State's presence in the top 100 suggests Penn State ultimately has an elite roster as the program heads into 2025.
Full list of Penn State players rated 91+ in College Football 26
Penn State's top-rated player is running back Nicholas Singleton, who has a 93 overall rating.
With his explosiveness and vision, Singleton has been a weapon for Penn State, so we could see him achieve fan favorite status in the upcoming College Football season. Quarterback Drew Allar and running back Kaytron Allen came just behind at a 92 overall. Allar is a highly touted arm talent with plenty of poise under center, while Allen's a workhorse runner who can push the ball downhill.
Defensively, acrobatic edge rusher Dani Dennis-Sutton was a 92 overall, too.

That combination of size, strength, and burst is a quarterback's nightmare! Vega Ioane, 92, Overall for wreaking havoc on the offensive line. Finally, former five-star recruit true freshman cornerback A.J. Harris comes in at No. 3, with a solid debut rating of 91 overall as a pedigree commit with a need to perform early and often.
Ratings reflect Penn State's strength on both sides of the ball
These six players' overall ratings further display just how complete this Penn State squad is.
They both give the offense versatility and balance, making for an intimidating video game team with Singleton and Allen in the backfield together for Penn State. With a cannon for an arm along with the leadership to elevate the unit even more, Allar is one of the best young QBs in the nation and the game.

Meanwhile, defensively, Dennis-Sutton's 92 rating locks him in as one of the country's elite pass rushers, while A.J. Harris getting a 91 as just a freshman only helps to show just how high his ceiling truly is. Equally important is the inclusion of Vega Ioane; elite offensive linemen can slip through the cracks, but Ioane spent his senior year proving he is among the best in his position. So, with the six top-100 rated Nittany Lions in College Football, 26 combined to provide the kind of depth and star power that should delight both fans and gamers alike.

IND vs ENG: Boom Boom Bumrah! Five-star Jasprit Bumrah joins Kapil Dev at the top
Jasprit Bumrah (Getty Images) NEW DELHI: Jasprit Bumrah continues to redefine greatness in fast bowling. On Day 3 of the first Test against England at Headingley, the Indian pace spearhead became the first Asian bowler to take 150 wickets across SENA countries — South Africa, England, New Zealand, and Australia. Bumrah reached this milestone with a phenomenal five-wicket haul, finishing with figures of 5/83 in 24.4 overs at an economy rate of 3.36. It was another near-lone-warrior effort from India's ace as he dismantled England's middle and lower order with unrelenting precision. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! This marked Bumrah's 10th five-wicket haul in SENA nations, making him the first Indian bowler to achieve this feat. He now sits just two behind Pakistan legend Wasim Akram , who claimed 11 fifers in these regions. Additionally, this was Bumrah's 12th five-wicket haul in away Tests, bringing him level with the great Kapil Dev . What makes this achievement even more remarkable is Bumrah's efficiency — he reached the mark in just 34 Tests, compared to Kapil's 66. His SENA record includes four five-wicket hauls in Australia, three in England, three in South Africa, and two in the West Indies.

IND vs ENG: 'India's most successful wicketkeeper-batsman' - Praises pour in for Rishabh Pant after cracking start to England tour
Rishabh Pant (Getty Images) Rishabh Pant sparked back to become the talk of the town with his record seventh Test century as he touched the three-figure mark en route his knock of 134 runs against England at Headingely in Leeds on Saturday. Powered by 12 fours and six maximums, Pant was a sight to behold on the crease as he blended his aggressive strokeplay with an occasional balanced approach to always keep the English bowling unit guessing, thus maximising scoring opportunities in all areas of the field. Former India international Dinesh Karthik , who has shared the national dressing room with Pant, hailed him as the country's best-ever wicketkeeper-batsman in Tests. He appreciated the adaptability the 27-year-old has shown in away tours, having bagged centuries in Australia, South Africa, and thrice in England. In addition to seven tons, Pant also has 15 half-centuries including seven 90+ scores in merely 44 Test matches, as Karthik believes that he was born to play in this format. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! 'Without a shadow of doubt, he is India's most successful wicketkeeper-batsman. He has improved his keeping. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Buy Brass Laxmi Ji Idol For Wealth, Peace & Happiness Luxeartisanship Shop Now Undo The best thing about Rishabh Pant is how well he has adapted to travel. He has gone and scored centuries in Australia, South Africa, and now thrice in England. It just tells you how comfortable he is with playing Test cricket anywhere. It comes to him naturally. He is very aggressive. Look, he is a superstar. He is always going to take risks. He is going to do whatever is against the grain at the moment. If you feel he has to defend, he will hit, if you feel he has to hit, he will end up defending. I will never judge him for his shot selection,' Karthik said on Cricbuzz. Besides that though, Pant has also naturally evolved in his glovework ever since debuting in the longest format in 2018. Back then, he was often found wanting judging the trajectory of the moving ball. This time around, he looks much at ease in those duties, and noted pundit Navjot Singh Sidhu talks highly of the same, along with the fact that he is impeccable in reading game situations, a hallmark that separates him from the rest of his peers. 'Rishabh Pant has been a revolutionary figure on the field. Besides his batting, you see his smarts behind the stumps too. You saw it when there was slight rain during the English innings. He asked the umpire to stop the play just like they had done during the Indian innings. It was very clever of him to suggest so. He is such a character! He is an endearing person. Whatever he has on his lips, is what he does on the field. As clear as that,' Sidhu said on Star Sports. Whilst praise from fellow countrymen is natural, Pant has also been making heads turn amongst the English cricketing fraternity. Several Indian fans remained glued to the stands even after stumps on Day 2 to catch a glimpse of the maverick wicketkeeper, as former captain and Sky Sports analyst Nasser Hussain called Pant an absolute box office entertainer who compels people to watch cricket in whites due to his exploits. Sitanshu Kotak press conference: Big revelation on Shubman Gill "It's an incredible last two days from Rishabh Pant. Good or bad, the block or the swipe, whether it's the last day of the Test match, the last over of Day 1, the hundred on Day 2, the celebration for the same, or even the way he got out, the wicketkeeping - he has always got a smile on his face! There are a lot of Indian fans here still waiting on the ground! Rishabh Pant is absolutely box office. Everyone loves watching this lad play," Hussain said. Having been handed the vice-captaincy duties, Pant has additional responsibilities on his shoulders in this mammoth five-match tour of England. However, he showed little to no signs of budging under that pressure as he went about business as usual in Leeds on the first two days of the Test match. With seniors retired, the Men in Blue are embarking on a new era altogether in red-ball cricket, and Pant has all the promise and potential to become the torchbearer of the country's cricketing carnival for the years to come.
