Projecting College Football 25 ratings for Kentucky players

We got a pretty massive College Football 25 news dump recently, most of which you can learn about here.

With the launch date approaching closer and the anticipation building, I got to thinking of what certain guys would be rated on the Kentucky Wildcats roster — so I broke down and rated some of Kentucky’s projected major players — ratings and their highest-rated (projected) attributes.

For attributes, I took Madden 24’s individual player attributes, such as speed, strength, throw power, etc., and applied those to the ratings. Some of these might be overrated, some might be underrated. That’s the beauty of it.

Again, these are just my personal projections and opinions, but with zero explanation and purely guesses. Enjoy.
