EA Sports College Football 26: LSU Football's Top-Ranked Players in the Game

Originally posted on LSU Tigers on SI  |  By Zack Nagy  |  Last updated Jul 7, 2025 3:30 PM ET

Brian Kelly and the LSU Tigers are back in EA Sports College Football 26 with the program seeing multiple players highly-rated this time around.

LSU will also have starting quarterback Garrett Nussmeier on the cover of the "Deluxe Edition" alongside several of the top coaches and players in America.

“I’m very blessed to be on the cover first off,” Garrett Nussmeier said. “I mean, that’s an unbelievable feeling just to even see that, along with the other coaches and players in the game. To be able to use myself in the game, I will say, it’s an unreal feeling.”

For Nussmeier, he's an avid player of the game where he's set to use himself and the LSU Tigers routinely.

He's a 92 overall in the game where he's tied with Penn State's Drew Allar and Clemson's Cade Klubnik as the highest-rated signal-callers.

“It’s a lot of fun. I’m somebody who plays the video game a lot. So, to be able to hop on that and be able to play with my buddies as myself,” Nussmeier said. “It’s pretty funny. It’s a lot of fun. There’s a lot of jokes made when I maybe throw an interception in the game or something, my buddies are like, ‘It’s your fault twice.’ So, it’s pretty funny.”

LSU has already been labeled as one of the top overall teams in the game with a unique blend of speed and traits in EA Sports College Football 26.
