Before the real college football season starts in late August, fans were able to get the virtual season underway on Monday.

It was the early release date for EA Sports’ College Football 26, the second year in a row EA Sports has produced a college football game after a 10-year hiatus.

Last year’s game became one of the most popular video games of the year, resulting in another title in 2026. The most recent edition has even more features than last year, including real life coaches coming into the game.

The players are back too, and Auburn has a few more highly rated players than in the previous game. Junior defensive end Keldric Faulk leads the way at a 93 overall, with wide receiver Eric Singleton Jr. joining him in the 90s club at a 92 overall.

Here are the top 10 highest-rated Auburn players in the game:

1. DE Keldric Faulk, 93 overall
2. WR Eric Singleton Jr. 92 overall
3. WR Cam Coleman, 89 overall
4. C Connor Lew, 88 overall
5. CB Raion Strader, 87 overall
6. CB Kayin Lee, 85 overall
7. S Kaleb Harris, 84 overall
8. QB Jackson Arnold, 84 overall
9. OL Dillon Wade, 83 overall
10. RB Damari Alston, 83 overall

Others tied at 83: RB Durell Robinson, RB Jeremiah Cobb
