College Football 25 is almost here so here is every Kansas State Wildcat's rating
It is officially EA Sports College Football 25 release week and fans are foaming at the mouth waiting for the beloved game's release after an 11-year hiatus. A new game means new and better features and EA Sports has been laying them out all month long to help build excitement.
The one thing that fans have been most excited about is the player ratings. Players had the choice of whether or not to opt into the game and if they did they received $600 and a copy of the game along with getting to see themselves in a timeless game.
So with player ratings officially out, rating are the ratings of each Kansas State player? Each player was given a rating out of 100 and it is the average of the player's ratings of speed, acceleration, jumping, strength, and awareness.
Not a single Kansas State player made it into the top 100 players list and every player on the list had a rating of 90+.

It is no surprise that Johnson has the highest rating of the quarterbacks. Johnson has an 85 rating and every K-State fan probably wishes it was higher, but give him time this season to prove he has what it takes to be a part of the 90+ rating club.
DJ Giddens has the highest rating of any other Wildcats this season and it is no surprise why. Giddens was a huge part of the Wildcats offense in 2023 and will continue to provide a lot of support for the K-State in 2024.
Cephas and Brown will be the bonafide top two wide receivers for Kansas State this season. Cephas will bring experience from another power conference coming from Penn State and Brown has already begun to build a relationship with Johnson after the electric catches in the Pop-Tarts Bowl.
The tight end room will have big shoes to fill with Ben Sinnott off to the NFL. Oakley and Swanson will most likely take over the majority of Sinnott's duties as the top two tight ends on the roster.
The offensive line will be a question this season as the Wildcats are having to replace four of their five starters from last season. With a couple of transfers, the line will need to hold strong, especially with a young quarterback under center.
