Travis Hunter Gives Fans 'Chills' in Viral Madden NFL 26 Trailer
Travis Hunter Gives Fans 'Chills' in Viral Madden NFL 26 Trailer originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Former Colorado Buffaloes two-way star Travis Hunter made history as one of three featured athletes in the return of EA Sports College Football. Now he's getting a different look with the iconic video game maker in Madden NFL 26. Advertisement The trailer for the game was released and fans are noticing huge differences. Hunter was featured in the preview, snagging a touchdown catch before breaking into backflip and twist celebration. The Jacksonville Jaguars top rookie was part of stars in the first-look, alongside Josh Allen, Patrick Mahomes, Saquon Barkley and Ashton Jeanty. Hunter is already being recognized among football's elite even before the 2025 season. While he received a 99 overall rating in EA's College Football 25, 'Saucy-T' will likely be in the mid-80s for his first NFL appearance. Fans are eager to see how they rate Hunter in the latest release. Hunter was selected by the Jaguars with the No. 2 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, becoming the highest drafted cornerback and second-highest drafted wide receiver in NFL history.

Watch Jeremiyah Love's long touchdown against Indiana EA Sports College Football style
Watch Jeremiyah Love's long touchdown against Indiana EA Sports College Football style There have been multiple announcements this past week regarding EA Sports NCAA College Football 2026, like Notre Dame star running back Jeremiyah Love and head coach Marcus Freeman being on the cover. Not only that, it was also confirmed that 'I'm Shipping Up to Boston' will be in the games soundtrack, which will give this version a much more Irish feel to it. That wasn't all that we saw, as there was some gameplay going around social media, but the one that Notre Dame fan's should care about the most is Love's 98-yard touchdown run against Indiana in the College Football Playoff, the longest in school history. While the EA Sports version isn't quite as exciting as the real one, it's great to see that it has made the gameplay vault and could be one of the plays featured in the games open. While we won't know that until later, you can see the video game version of Love's long touchdown run below.

EA Sports College Football 25 ratings for all of Colorado's incoming transfers
When it was released in July 2024, the return of EA Sports College Football 25 captured the hearts of college football fans. Still, unlike previous iterations of the video game, this version featured real-life players. When you play with the Colorado Buffaloes, you see Shedeur Sanders lining up under center instead of a generic quarterback wearing No. 2. CFB 25 uses a player rating system that grades players based on their production on the field and uses metrics like those seen in Pro Football Focus. Players are graded 0-99 in attributes such as speed, strength and position-specific ratings such as pass-blocking for offensive linemen. This becomes a valuable tool in the age of the transfer portal. Fans can now get a sense of the type of player their team is adding by looking at their rating. Below is the EA Sports College Football rating for each of Colorado's incoming transfers: T'Z UP 🇹🇴 — Mana Taimani (@mana_taimani) January 12, 2025 Rating: NR Mana Taimani does not appear on Ole Miss' roster. I would guess that Taimani will be graded in the high 60s or low 70s in next year's game. Former Northwest Missouri State TE Zach Atkins has committed to Colorado #SkoBuffs — NoSkoZone (@noskozone) December 17, 2024 Rating: NR For as great as CFB 25 is, the game does not feature any teams lower than the Football Bowl Subdivision. While future releases could at least add the Football Championship Subdivision, Northwest Missouri State transfer tight end Zach Atkins doesn't appear in CFB 25. I predict Atkins will be the Buffs' highest-rated TE in CFB 26, with a rating of around 75. Turning the backyard into our own stadium #AGTG 🦬 @07ksalt — Kylan Salter (@kylansalter) January 3, 2025 Rating: 70 Colorado continued its trend of adding a set of brothers to its roster. We will see the representative on the offensive side of the ball soon, but Kylan Salter is an important piece with the losses the Buffs suffered at linebacker this offseason. Rating: 71 The Buffs raided their conference rival for a new starting punter this offseason by adding former Kansas Jayhawk Damon Greaves. Rating: 73 Sharing a name with an NFL Hall-of-Famer, Buck Buchanan was brought in to compete for kicking duties, likely as a kickoff specialist. Fortifying the trenches. 😤@Zarian255026215 x #GoBuffs — Colorado Buffaloes Football (@CUBuffsFootball) January 8, 2025 Rating: 75 Zarian McGill is listed as a center, so he will likely compete with Cash Cleveland for the starting job. Rating: 75 Joseph Williams, the reigning AAC Freshman of the Year, will likely sneak into the high 70s or low 80s and will earn snaps with the starting wide receiver unit. Rating: 75 Listed as an outside linebacker in Jacksonville State's three-man front, Reginald Hughes showcased the ability to generate a pass rush last year, compiling 4.5 sacks. Watch for Hughes to line up as an end on pass-rush situations in CU's four-man defensive front. BREAKING: Former Illinois offensive lineman Zylon 'Zy' Crisler has committed to the Colorado Buffaloes! 🦬He has 30 career starts and was an All-Big Ten honorable mention in 2023 — STAMPEDE (@stampedecu) January 9, 2025 Rating: 76 If I had to pick one offensive lineman to get a rating bump next season, Zy Crisler would be my pick. The hulking 6-foot-6, 335-pound guard started in 30 games at Illinois and was a two-time All-Big Ten honorable mention. Rating: 76 The first of a trio of transfer defensive tackles the Buffs have added, Gaviel Lightfoot was on the field for 35 games in three seasons for the Bulldogs and started 27. Lightfoot will almost certainly be a part of the rotation on the interior D-line. Rating: 78 The pass-rush specialist of the DTs, Tavian Coleman will be on the field when teams are throwing the ball to collapse the pocket in front of the quarterback's face. USF S Tawfiq Byard is one of the best safeties in the portal🦬😈 @byard_tawfiq 6'1 200 SO. | 54 TOT TKLS| 2 SACKS|1 INT| 0 TD AllowedGreat tackler in open space, and is solid in coverage. He's the brother of NFL S Kevin Byard. Would love for him to be a Buff👀 #GUCCESZN — GUCCE🦬🐦⬛ (@gucceCU) December 6, 2024 Rating: 78 A big pickup for a team losing both of its starting safeties, Tawfiq Byard brings a strong pedigree and a hard-hitting style to the Buffs' defensive backfield. Rating: 79 According to CFB 25, Aki Ogunbiyi is the highest-rated OL transfer the Buffs have added. I expect Ogunbiyi to compete for a starting guard spot next season. Rating: 79 Listed as a cornerback in CFB 25, Makari Vickers has the experience and size to line up at either CB or safety in Robert Livingston's defense. Rating: 79 Jehiem Oatis only appeared in early updates of CFB 25, as he was removed from Alabama's roster after opting to redshirt. Oatis was listed as a defensive end but will likely play inside for the Buffs next season. Rating: 82 Martavius French is the type of athlete the Buffs needed to add at LB this offseason. CU is down both of its starting LBs from last season, and French is an early favorite to earn a starting spot. Rating: 89 One of the highest-rated quarterbacks in both the transfer portal and CFB 25, Kaidon Salter will probably see a slight rating decrease next year. Regardless, he will be involved in CU's offense next season as either a starter or in relief of freshman Julian Lewis.
