It's a big day for video game lovers as EA Sports College Football 26 has made its early release, and Clemson football fans are especially excited because the Tigers are represented well.
Clemson has one of the best teams in the game, rated in the top 10, but it also has some of the best overall players. Obviously if you're one of the best teams, you're going to have some elite players on the roster and EA Sports treated Clemson well with some of the ratings.
In fact, three different Tigers were rated the No. 1 overall players at their position in the game.
For starters, Cade Klubnik is rated the top quarterback in the game with a 92 overall rating. He is tied with Garrett Nussmeier as the top overall quarterback and he's widely considered the best passer in the country heading into the 2025 season after passing for over 3,600 yards and 26 touchdowns last year with just six picks.
On the edge, TJ Parker is rated the top overall rusher. He had 57 total tackles, 20 tackles for loss, 11 sacks, and six forced fumbles, and he's the best edge rusher in the new game.
Lastly, Peter Woods is rated the best defensive tackle in the game. This is, again, no surprise given the fact that he's been talked about as the No. 1 overall NFL Draft prospect for 2026. He had 28 total tackles, nine tackles for loss, and three sacks in 2024 as one of the most disruptive interior defenders in college football.
Clemson has the best player at 30 percent of the position groups in College Football 26.
