Rasheem Biles, a linebacker who spent the last two seasons at Pitt before joining the Texas Longhorns, has been crowned the top‑rated middle linebacker in EA Sports' upcoming College Football '27 title.
The rating places him second overall among linebackers nationwide, a testament to a 2025 season that saw him record 101 tackles, 4.5 sacks and three touchdowns.
A virtual breakout for a real‑world prospect
Biles’ rise is a centerpiece of Texas’ highest‑ranked NCAA transfer class, a group that the program has bolstered with the largest single‑year investment in name, image and likeness deals ever recorded.
Will Muschamp, the newly appointed defensive coordinator for the Longhorns, has spoken about Biles’ game‑changing skill set, emphasizing that the player’s versatility could reshape the team’s defensive schemes.
The virtual release of College Football '27 is slated for July 9, 2026, a date that will allow fans worldwide to experience the new roster dynamics and the fresh emphasis on transfer talent.
