Penn State Lands Three Players on College Football ’25 Top 100 List
Published:
EA SPORTS College Football 25 comes out this week and so far we’ve got a list of the top-100 rated players. There are three Penn State guys on the list:
- 47. Adbul Carter (DE)
- 57. Kevin Winston Jr. (S)
- 64. Nick Singleton (RB)
All three have a 91 overall grade. Carter is in a three-way tie for the fourth-best defensive end in the game. Winston Jr. is the 7th-highest safety but 2nd-highest strong safety, and Singleton is tied for 8th on the running back list. Seems pretty reasonable to land three in the top 75 considering the Nitters lost eight players in the NFL Draft after a 10-2 regular season and Peach Bowl loss.
There isn’t much representation in our region throughout the top-100 list, as one would expect. Rutgers running back Kyle Monangai made the list at 96th overall after a year in which he carried the ball 252 times for 1,262 yards and eight touchdowns. No players from Pitt or Temple. Maybe if this was nine years ago, Jahad Thomas and Tyler Matakevich would be on there. Pitt had a nice run but oh no, they suck again, and that’s about it. It’s somewhat sad when college football comes around every year because you realize all of the teams around here are butt and no one really cares. We’ve got a strong Penn State contingent, but James Franklin always lets them down. Maybe Greg Schiano gets us thinking about the Scarlet Knights again after a 7-6 season. They don’t have to play Michigan, Ohio State, or PSU this year. RU rah rah! Ru rah rah! hooooo rah
