Oregon Football fans react to EA Sports CFB 26's strange choices for Ducks

The EA Sports College Football 26 video game is set to drop in a matter of weeks, so new details and trailers have been pouring out over the last months as fans prepare to dive back into the beloved gaming franchise and get onto the digital gridiron. On Tuesday, CFB26 released a deep dive into the revamped Dynast Mode of the game, showing all of the changes in this year's version of the game, from coaching and player archetypes to new recruiting tools. While there were a lot of encouraging takeaways for gamers, Oregon Duck fans seemed to focus on a couple of, let's say, "interesting" choices that the game made in their release. The first, and most minor detail, was the appearance of Dan Lanning in the video game. With over 300 college coaches being introduced, it's fun to see your favorite head man in the game, but some of them may not look quite accurate in the digital world. More importantly, though, the game highlighted a particular Oregon player as they went through different archetypes. The only problem, though, was that the player — LB linebacker Harrison Taggart — is no longer on Oregon's roster, and hasn't been in a few years. Taggart enrolled at Oregon in 2022, but transferred to the BYU Cougars in 2023, and has since again transferred to the California Golden Bears earlier this year in 2025. Here's a look at how Duck fans reacted to the two details from the game trailer release: The Dynasty Mode Deep Dive What does EA Sports Know?
