Projecting Every WVU Player’s College Football 27 Rating Before the Game Drops

In this story:
College Football 27 will be hitting the shelves here in just a couple of weeks, and for the 80-ish or so days between the release of the game and the start of the 2026 season, West Virginia Mountaineer fans will be able to get their "first look" at all of the newcomers in a WVU uniform, and heck, maybe even be a few seasons into their dynasty.
What will the Mountaineers be rated on this year's game? I give my prediction of what I think each player will be rated by EA. These projections aren't necessarily what I would rate them, however.
