With the highly anticipated release of EA College Football 26 set for July 10, LSU fans are buzzing with excitement. The return of the iconic franchise brings with it fresh rosters, updated gameplay, and—perhaps most thrilling for die-hard Tiger fans—the chance to see how their favorite players are rated. EA recently dropped a teaser trailer, and fans are already speculating on team strengths and which athletes will shine on the virtual field.

Predicting LSU Offensive Player Ratings in College Football 26

As players look to build powerhouse squads and rack up College Football 26 Coins for upgrades and online play, knowing which LSU offensive players are rated highest could be a game-changer. Let's break down our predictions for LSU's offensive ratings when the game drops.

Quarterbacks

Garrett Nussmeier – 93

Michael Van Buren – 80

Collin Hurley – 75

Ju'Juan Johnson – 75

Nussmeier enters the season among the top contenders for the Heisman Trophy, and his 93 rating reflects that. While he may not bring elite mobility, his arm strength and accuracy should be among the best in the game. Van Buren showed promise as a freshman starter at Mississippi State, and with solid SEC experience, an 80 rating is fitting. Hurley and Johnson, while relatively unproven, both offer intriguing upside and should sit in the mid-70s.

Running Backs

Caden Durham – 87

Kaleb Jackson – 78

Harlem Berry – 78

JT Lindsey – 75

Durham is poised to be one of the SEC's top backs. With 753 yards and six scores last season, he's on the brink of elite status, but EA may wait for more consistent production before rating him in the 90s. Jackson, a highly rated recruit, has yet to break out but should still earn a respectable 78. Berry, the No. 1 freshman RB in the country, could be close behind at 78, while Lindsey rounds out the group with a solid 75.

Wide Receivers

Aaron Anderson – 87

Nic Anderson – 87

Chris Hilton – 85

Barion Brown – 85

Zavion Thomas – 80

Kyle Parker – 80

Destyn Hill – 78

Jelani Watkins – 75

Kylan Billiot – 75

TaRon Francis – 72

Phillip Wright – 71

LSU's receiver room is packed with talent and potential. Aaron Anderson leads the way after an 884-yard season, while Nic Anderson and Chris Hilton bring big-play ability and upside. Barion Brown joins from Kentucky with three solid years under his belt and will be a weapon in the slot or on special teams.

Zavion Thomas and Kyle Parker round out a strong second tier, both capable of becoming game-changers. The rest of the group includes promising freshmen and transfer pieces who add depth and versatility, important options for players looking to earn College Football 26 Coins through dynamic team-building and performance.

Tight Ends

Trey'Dez Green – 86

Bauer Sharp – 84

Donovan Green – 78

JD LaFleur – 73

Green and Sharp could form one of the SEC's best tight end duos. Green brings elite potential and recruiting pedigree, while Sharp was Oklahoma's top receiving option last year. Donovan Green hasn't played much over the last two years, so his rating will likely reflect that with a modest 78. JD LaFleur is a developmental talent for later in Dynasty or Road to Glory modes.

Offensive Tackles

Tyree Adams – 84

Weston Davis – 80

Carius Curne – 77

Ethan Calloway – 72

Khayree Lee – 70

Adams should start the year as LSU's top offensive tackle. While still unproven, his potential and recruiting grade warrant a strong 84 rating. Davis and Curne, though relatively inexperienced, were elite recruits and should benefit from EA's tendency to rate blue-chip linemen in the high 70s to low 80s.

Interior Offensive Line

Josh Thompson – 86

Braelin Moore – 84

DJ Chester – 79

Coen Echols – 77

Solomon Thomas – 76

Paul Mubenga – 75

Bo Bordelon – 74

Ory Williams – 72

Tyler Miller – 72

Brett Bordelon – 68

The strength of LSU's interior line starts with transfer Josh Thompson, who brings a combination of size, technique, and experience. Moore also has proven starting experience and should get a bump because of it. Chester showed promise in 2023 but struggled in 2024; EA may reflect that with a sub-80 rating. The rest of the group is filled with young, high-upside linemen who could improve as the season—and the game's updates—progress.

Final Thoughts

With College Football 26 bringing back in-depth Dynasty modes, recruiting battles, and online play fueled by CFB 26 Coins, knowing where LSU's offensive talent stacks up could give players a significant edge. Whether you're grinding for coins or looking to dominate online with LSU's high-powered attack, this Tigers offense offers both star power and developmental intrigue.

The countdown to July 10 is on, and for LSU fans, it can't get here soon enough.
