The latest rating cycle rewards the Sooners’ playoff breakthrough, inflating the scores of several key contributors. Defensive tackle David Stone leads the pack with a 94 overall rating, cementing his status as the game’s top-rated interior lineman.
Joining him, wide receiver Isaiah Sategna boasts a 90 overall rating paired with a blistering 96 speed attribute, while cornerback Eli Bowen shares ninth place among his position peers with a 90 rating.
Quarterback John Mateer sits at No. 10 among signal callers with an 89 rating, and safety Kip Lewis combines an 89 overall score with a 96 awareness and 85 agility rating, underscoring his well‑rounded skill set.
Beyond individual grades, the Sooners’ collective impact is reflected in standout performances from Tate Sandell, who captured OU’s inaugural Lou Groza Award in 2025, and Trell Harris, who amassed 847 receiving yards and five touchdowns on 59 catches.
Defensive standouts such as Taylor Wein, who closed his redshirt sophomore season with 39 tackles and seven sacks, and Peyton Bowen, a Second‑Team All‑SEC selection after starting all 13 games, further enrich the roster’s depth.
The upcoming release not only refreshes gameplay mechanics but also mirrors the real‑world momentum of college programs, setting the stage for a competitive season both on screen and in the stadiums.
