EA Sports College Football 27 is putting Oregon right near the top of the board, and the Ducks’ roster looks loaded from top to bottom when the game launches worldwide on July 9.
As a team, Oregon checks in with a 91 overall rating, the best mark in the game. Ohio State and Indiana sit right behind at 90, making the Ducks one of the headline programs players will want to roll with right away.
At the center of it all is Dante Moore. The redshirt junior quarterback, a Heisman Trophy hopeful, is the highest-rated player at his position with a 95 overall rating.
He also carries a 95 in deep accuracy, which only adds to the buzz around Oregon’s offense. Moore is also on the cover of EA Sports College Football 27.
Behind him is senior center Iapani Laloulu, who lands a 93 overall rating. That gives Oregon another major piece right where the offense starts.
The Ducks’ passing game is set up to feature sophomore wide receiver Dakorien Moore, who comes in at 88 overall after a standout freshman season. Oregon also has another receiver drawing attention in Bair, who owns a perfect 99 speed rating before taking a snap in a college football game.
At tight end, redshirt junior Jamari Johnson is listed as the third-best player at the position in the country with a 90 overall rating.
Oregon’s defense is just as stacked in the game, especially up front and in the secondary. The four core returnees at defensive end and defensive tackle are a big part of why Dan Lanning’s team is rated so highly.
In the back end, junior strong safety Koi Perich and sophomore cornerback Brandon Finney Jr. both stand out. Perich comes in at 93 overall and ranks No. 2 at his position, while Finney Jr. is rated 91 overall and sits No. 4 among corners. Perich is also getting ready for his first season in the Pacific Northwest after transferring in from the Minnesota Golden Gophers.

Texas Is Making Oregon Sweat On Another Blue-Chip Recruiting Battle
Texas has already shown it can make life difficult for Oregon on the 2027 trail, and the latest battlegrounds are once again elite national recruits.
