At this time last year, EA Sports released College Football 25 after a long time since releasing their last game, NCAA Football 14. This was like Christmas morning for college football fans and video game players.
It turned out to be a huge success, which was no surprise, and now, fans are getting excited for College Football 26, and it should be better than last season's edition. Now, with an offseason that had a large amount of turnover for head coach Brent Pry after a disappointing 6-6 season, there are some names that fans will get to know. However, the turnover was so big that College Football 26's best-rated Virginia Tech player is going to surprise you.
Who is Virginia Tech football's best rated player in College Football 26?
Virginia Tech lost a lot of talented players off last season's roster between the transfer portal and the NFL Draft, but they do return quarterback Kyron Drones and Pop Watson. However, when it comes to College Football 26 and who the highest ranked Hokies player is will surprise you.
College Football 26, as West Virginia transfer Tomas Rimac is the highest-rated player for Virginia Tech in the game. The offensive lineman was one of the top players in the trenches for the Mountaineers, and he followed his line coach, Matt Moore, from Morgantown to Blacksburg.
Rimac was one of the highest-ranked interior linemen by Pro Football Focus for returning players in the ACC, and truth be told, he's going to be a vital part of the Hokies' offense this season. A new-look line is going to be huge for Moore, but also first-year offensive coordinator Philip Montgomery and Drones or Watson, whoever will be under center at the time.
College Football 26 is going to have some new features that last season's game didn't, but with the amount of turnover Virginia Tech had, it's not surprising to see a transfer as their highest-rated player in the game.
