Ohio State Players Shine in EA Sports College Football 25 Ratings Update
The latest EA Sports College Football 25 ratings update has sent ripples of excitement through the Ohio State community, showcasing the remarkable performances of several Buckeye players this season. This initial ratings update, released on October 2, 2024, highlighted the progress of players like Josh Simmons, Lorenzo Styles Jr., and Jaylen McClain, who all saw significant increases in their ratings, reflecting their hard work and contributions on the field.
Josh Simmons, the standout left tackle, received a well-deserved bump in his rating from 83 to 85. This improvement is a testament to his stellar play, particularly in a season where he has impressively allowed zero sacks. His dominant presence has been pivotal in propelling Ohio State’s offense, which currently ranks third in the FBS, averaging an impressive 7.98 yards per play and 6.58 yards per rushing attempt. It’s clear that Simmons has established himself as a key figure in the Buckeyes’ offensive line.
Lorenzo Styles Jr. also made headlines with his rating increasing from 76 to 79. Styles has been a dual-threat this season, excelling on both defense and special teams. He has been recognized twice as Ohio State’s special teams player of the week and has showcased his skills in limited action as the No. 2 nickel cornerback. With seven total tackles and a pass breakup under his belt, Styles is clearly making an impact on the game, earning him this notable ratings increase.

Jaylen McClain, another player whose stock has risen, saw his rating climb from 72 to 76. His contributions in a second-string capacity have not gone unnoticed. In just 39 defensive snaps, he has established himself as one of Ohio State’s top backup safeties, recording six tackles, including a tackle for loss. McClain's growing influence in the defensive lineup is a bright spot for the Buckeyes.
Additionally, punter Joe McGuire, who initially missed out on the game’s roster, has made his debut in this update with a rating of 76. McGuire has shown his prowess, averaging 42.1 yards per punt and ensuring that the Buckeyes have not allowed any punt returns for positive yardage this season.
However, it wasn't all positive news for Ohio State. Two players experienced rating drops: cornerback Calvin Simpson-Hunt, whose rating fell from 80 to 79, and safety Keenan Nelson Jr., who dropped from 78 to 76. Both players have seen limited defensive snaps this season but have been active on special teams.
This ratings update is not just limited to Ohio State; it reflects a broader landscape of college football. Notable players nationwide have seen their ratings adjusted, including Colorado’s Travis Hunter, who skyrocketed from 95 to 97, and Boise State’s Ashton Jeanty, whose rating climbed from 92 to 96. The competition remains fierce as the season progresses.
In a surprising twist, South Carolina’s Dylan Stewart has emerged as the highest-rated freshman in the game, jumping from 78 to 87, while Jeremiah Smith, another standout freshman, holds steady at a rating of 85. Even some cover athletes, like Michigan’s Donovan Edwards, have seen their ratings dip, highlighting the unpredictability of college football and the EA Sports ratings.
As the season continues, these ratings will undoubtedly shift, but for now, the Ohio State players are basking in the recognition they've earned through their hard work and dedication on the field. The excitement surrounding EA Sports College Football 25 is palpable, and fans are eager to see how these athletes will perform in the coming weeks. The road ahead looks promising for the Buckeyes, and this ratings update serves as a reminder of the talent and potential within the program.
