Rounding out the top 10 is Hansen, another dependable lineman who adds depth and veteran experience to a front five that's clearly a strength of this Florida State team.
Final Thoughts
With four offensive linemen in Florida State's top 10, it's clear the game values trench play. That should be encouraging for sim users and those who prioritize long-term dynasty builds. Whether you're working through Road to Glory or building your dream squad in Ultimate Team, investing your College Football 26 Coins in linemen like Pettus and Petitbon could be the smart move.
And don't sleep on the skill players, guys like Squirrel White and Thomas Castellanos can break open any play. But in a game where the O-line truly affects outcomes, Florida State's balanced and deep offense makes them a fun and potentially dominant pick.
Who knows, by the end of College Football 26's lifecycle, we might see multiple Seminoles cross the 90 OVR threshold. But even now, the pieces are there for a championship run.
