Here's a look at all player and team ratings for the UCF Knights in the new EA Sports College Football 26 video game.
For the second year in a row, gamers can play as their favorite UCF Knights. The early-access window for EA Sports College Football 26 opened Monday, July 7, with a full release on July 10.
The Knights' roster is dramatically different than the one that appeared in last year's game, though. After the departure of head coach Gus Malzahn to Florida State, UCF brought back Scott Frost. He's in the game. So are his coordinators, Steve Cooper (offense) and Alex Grinch (defense).
UCF's top-rated offensive player is Western Michigan transfer running back Jaden Nixon. On defense, the Knights are led by edge rusher Nyjalik Kelly. Both players hold 88 overall ratings.
Let's take a look at the full roster, with each player's speed, strength and overall ratings, in College Football 26.
