Top-Rated Hurricanes in EA Sports College Football 26
At the front of the pack, you’ve got offensive tackle Francis Mauigoa with a wild 93 overall rating. Mauigoa isn’t just one of the game’s best offensive players—he’s the anchor of Miami’s offensive line.
His stats are no joke: pass block power at 97, impact blocking at 95, lead block at 95, and strength at 95. Those numbers show how he protects the quarterback and opens up the run game.
Last season, Mauigoa allowed only one sack across 576 pass-blocking snaps, according to Pro Football Focus. Since arriving from IMG Academy as a five-star recruit, he’s built a reputation as a true top-tier lineman.
Defensive Standouts
Next up is defensive lineman Rueben Bain, who clocks in at a 92 overall. Even though he missed part of the 2024 season with an injury, Bain’s presence was hard to ignore.
He racked up 28 quarterback pressures in just 238 pass-rushing snaps. His top traits? Awareness (95), play recognition (95), power moves (95), and pursuit (94).
As a true freshman, Bain tallied 45 pressures and nine sacks. The guy clearly knows how to make an impact and read the game.
Quarterback Excellence
Quarterback Carson Beck rounds out Miami’s elite trio with a rating of 91. Beck has powered Georgia’s offense for the last two seasons, piling up 7,426 yards and 52 touchdowns.
He led the Bulldogs to two SEC championships and a 24-3 record as a starter. That’s not something you see every day.
In the game, Beck shines in play-action passing (98), awareness (96), and throw power (92). His knack for nailing play-action passes and his field awareness make him a huge asset for Miami.
Other Notable Miami Players
There’s more to this roster than just the big three. Other Miami players with strong ratings include:
- Charles Brantley (Cornerback) – 88 overall

- Jeremiyah Love (Notre Dame Running Back) – 94 overall, No. 1 RB

Looking Ahead: Miami’s Recruiting Class
As the season approaches, Miami’s recruiting efforts look pretty strong. Heading into July, they’ve got the nation’s No. 6 ranked recruiting class, according to 247Sports.
That’s the third time in four years Miami is on track for a top ten class under head coach Mario Cristobal. Not bad at all.
Keeping this momentum going means locking in key prospects and staying aggressive on the recruiting trail. Recent commitments—including four blue-chip players—show the program’s pull.
Three of those new recruits are Top 150 talents. That’s a big deal for the incoming class.
Key Prospects to Watch
Some top prospects are still in play as the recruiting cycle winds down. Landing these players could be the difference between a good class and a great one.
Recruitments seem to wrap up faster every year, so the pressure’s on to seal the deal and keep strengthening the roster.
