With the anticipation building for the newest edition of EA Sports classic college football franchise, College Football 26, the company shared how many players each college football team will have in the top 100 players in the game, and to a surprise to me, the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets will have one player that will be in the group. Surprising not that there is one, but surprised that there is only one player.
I would imagine that the player that made the list will be Jamal Haynes, who is undoubtedly a top ten running back in the entire nation, and has been the feature back in the offense, rushing for over 2,000 yards the last two seasons.
However, I thought that quarterback Haynes King and Eric Rivers could have joined the group. King has proven himself as one of the top running threat quarterbacks in the entire country and won over a lot of people's hearts after his heroic performance against the in-state rival Georgia Bulldogs last season.
Rivers will come into the Yellow Jackets program in 2025 as one of the top-producing players in the entire country from last season, having but up 62 receptions for 1,172 yards and 12 touchdowns last season as a member of the Florida International Panthers.
The trio will be one of the best QB-RB-WR trios in the entire nation, and I thought that they absolutely could have made a convincing case to be among the top 100 players heading into College Football 26.
