The excitement is building as EA Sports gears up to release its latest College Football Video Game, and with it, the much-anticipated player ratings are out in the open. These ratings often spark lively debates among fans, as they dissect which players may have been undervalued by the game’s creators.
Let's dive into the ratings for Georgia Tech and see who’s leading the charge:
- Ethan Mackenny (OL) tops the list with an 84 overall rating, setting a high bar for the offensive line.
- Aidan Birr (K) and Kyle Efford (LB) follow closely, each boasting an impressive 83 overall.
- Malachi Hosley (RB) is right in the mix with an 82, while Malachi Carney (OL), E.J. Lightsey (LB), and Jordan Allen (WR) each come in at 81.
Rounding out the top performers, we have Jaylen Mbakwe (CB) at 80 overall, a player many are keeping an eye on for his potential to exceed expectations.
As we move down the list, the ratings continue to showcase a deep roster:
- Markell Samuel (OL) and Chad Alexander (RB) both earn a solid 79.
- The likes of Zachary Tobe, Jonas Duclona (both CBs), and Jordan Walker (DE) sit at 78, hinting at their potential impact on the field.
The roster is packed with talent, but some players are poised to break out beyond their current ratings:
- Kevin Roche Jr (TE), with a 69 overall, has already shown promise as a key target for quarterback Alberto Mendoza during spring practices. Expect him to rise above this initial rating as the season unfolds.
- Speaking of Alberto Mendoza (QB), he’s rated at 76 overall. While that may seem fair given his experience level, don’t be surprised if he surpasses this mark as he gains more time under center.
Other players to watch include Jaylen Mbakwe, Noah Carter (DE), and Jordan Walker (DE). These athletes have the potential to see their ratings climb as they make their presence felt on the field.
With the new game on the horizon, fans are eagerly anticipating not just the virtual gridiron action but also how these ratings will evolve as the season progresses. Georgia Tech's roster is brimming with potential, and it will be fascinating to see which players rise to the occasion and outplay their digital counterparts.

Georgia Tech Just Landed In A Massive Trench Battle For Brent Key
Georgia Techs push on the offensive line is in the spotlight again, this time with one of the more coveted tackles in the 2027 class. Dewey Young, a Michigan product at Kalamazoo Central, has carved out a spot among the nations top linemen and has become a name worth tracking for programs trying to strengthen the trenches early.

Young is moving toward a commitment decision on July 6 at 7 p.m. ET, and that timeline gives Georgia Tech a clear target to watch in the coming days. With multiple high-profile programs involved and his recruitment narrowing, the Jackets are in position to test how far their recent momentum can carry them against a field that includes some familiar heavyweight competition.

Georgias 2026 Hype Comes With A Problem Fans Know Too Well
Georgia enters 2026 with the kind of rsum that keeps it near the top of every preseason conversation, and the expectations are easy to understand. The Bulldogs have already won national titles in 2021 and 2022, then followed an undefeated regular season in 2023 with an SEC Championship Game loss, before winning the SEC in both 2024 and 2025 and still falling short in the quarterfinals each time. With Gunner Stockton back at quarterback, the public case for another playoff run is strong enough to place Georgia sixth in the early national title odds.
The harder part is the one Bulldogs fans have seen before, even when the brand names and rankings look right. Georgia has issues to sort out along the offensive line and at receiver, and those are the kinds of problems that can make a contender look complete in August and incomplete once the games get tighter. Stockton gives them stability at the most important spot, but unless the supporting cast comes together, this could be another season where Georgia looks built for a deep run and still ends up needing a better answer in the biggest moments.
