The new EA Sports College Football video game will be released in July. In anticipation of the release, EA Sports is releasing team ratings, player ratings, and more. BYU is ranked 13th in the initial rankings and four BYU players are in the top 10 at their respective positions: LJ Martin, Bruce Mitchell, Faletau Satuala, and Evan Johnson.

In this article, we'll recap the 10 highest-rated BYU players.

Therrian Alexander III is poised to take a big step forward in his second season as a starter. Alexander is one of the fastest players in the game, and he has ideal length as well. Alexander ranks 11th among Big 12 cornerbacks in his preseason ratings debut.

This time last year, McCae Hillstead was the highest-rated BYU quarterback in College Football 26. Then, Bachmeier beat out Hillstead in Fall Camp and won the starting job. Bear Bachmeier debuts at an 84 overall. If BYU is going to accomplish its goals in 2026, Bachmeier would need to outperform an 84 rating. Bachmeier ranks seventh among Big 12 quarterbacks and 28th nationally.

8. Andrew Gentry - 84 Overall

BYU right tackle Andrew Gentry is going to be one of the leaders on the offensive line. Gentry has the benefit of a healthy offseason. Last year, Gentry was recovering from a lisfranc injury after transferring in from Michigan. Gentry is the third best tackle in the Big 12.

7. Cade Uluave - 86 Overall

Cal transfer and former All-ACC selection Cade Uluave might be a candidate to see his rating go up throughout the season. Uluave ranks 8th among Big 12 linebackers. Uluave has a chance to see his production increase at BYU, specifically as a pass rusher.

6. Keanu Tanuvasa 87 Overall
