Electronic Arts (EA) Sports recently released the official trailer for the video game College Football 25, with a release date set for July 19th. This will be his first college football game since NCAA Football 14 in 2013.
Michigan State may not have as high of an overall rating as some of the top teams in the Big Ten like Ohio State, Oregon, or even Michigan State. With Jonathan Smith installed as the new head coach, there is some uncertainty regarding the new faces, and the overall strength of the team may not be the best.
Many Michigan State fans will want to pre-order the video game and play as the Spartans. Since EA does not release official ratings for teams or players, here are our predictions for Michigan State's projected starters.
offense
QB Aidan Chiles – 82
RB Nathan Carter – 83
WR Montrey Foster – 78
WR Alante Brown – 77
WR Ron Glover – 75
TE Jack Belling – 84
OT Brandon Baldwin – 78
OT Ashton Repo – 74
OG Luke Newman – 77
OG Chris Phillips – 75
C Tanner Miller – 79
The offense has several new faces at key positions compared to last year. Quarterback Aidan Chiles, tight end Jack Verring, offensive lineman Luke Newman and center Tanner Miller all transferred to Michigan State. These transfers should be the highest-rated players on Michigan State's offense.
Belling and running back Nathan Carter are the highest-rated players because of what they did last year. As for the offensive line, they have introduced new players and it will take some time for them to solidify and grow as a unit. Wide receivers are the lowest rated group because they don't have enough production overall to warrant a value higher than 78.
defense
DT – Maverick Hansen – 75
DT – D'Quan Douse – 78
DE – Chris Bogle – 77
DE – Quindarius Dunnigan – 78
LB – Jordan Hall – 86
LB – Jordan Turner – 82
LB – Cal Halladay – 82
CB – Ed Woods – 80
CB – Chance Rucker – 81
S – Malik Spencer – 86
S – Dillon Tatum – 78
The front four has struggled this offseason. Although many players from last year left in the transfer portal, coach Smith is still trying to rebuild that unit. Linebackers are the best position group on offense and defense.
Jordan Hall has taken over the role of the vocal leader of the defense and is tied with Malik Spencer as the highest-rated player on the defense.
