With the release of EA Sports College Football 26 just ten days away, Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets fans now wait to see who the Yellow Jackets highest-rated players will be, and while the offense will be the star of the team in College Football 26, we take a look at who the three highest rated players on the defensive side of the ball nights be.
3. Clayton Powell-Lee, Safety
The Yellow Jackets secondary will see a lot of new players coming in and getting playing time, however the team will return Powell-Lee, who was tied for the second highest overall of defensive players on the team last season. After a stellar 2024 season, Powell-Lee could see a boost from his 78 overall in last year’s launch.
2. Kyle Efford, Linebacker
The 6-foot-2 sophomore took the nation by storm last season with his high shoulder pads, eye paint, and old school middle linebacker look. Add in the fact that he recorded 23 tackles in his first two games last season, and you get a guy that instantly became a fan favorite for Yellow Jackets fans, and Efford could get a big ratings boost from his 78 overall last season.
1. Jordan van den Berg, Defensive Line
Berg played both defensive tackle and defensive end for the Yellow Jackets at times last season and was the best and most consistent lineman that the Yellow Jackets had all season. Berg was named to the All-ACC Second Team last season for his remarkable job with the Yellow Jackets, and it will for sure lead to a ratings boost from his 78 overall at the launch of College Football 25 last season.
