EA Sports released the second edition of its revived college football series this week, College Football 26. If you are looking to take Auburn to the top of the college football world in dynasty mode, or if you are looking to embarrass your friend online, two Auburn players will be vital to your success.
Auburn EDGE rusher Keldric Faulk and wide receiver Eric Singleton are among the game’s highest-rated players. Faulk checks in at No. 23 with a 93 overall rating, while Singleton is No. 41 at 92 overall.

Despite being seen as “underrated” in the game, Auburn’s offense has the chance to be stellar this season. Singleton is a key reason why. The Georgia Tech transfer joined the Tigers’ roster last offseason and will team up with Cam Coleman and Malcolm Simmons to form one of the nation’s top receiving corps. Mixing those three in with Jackson Arnold, the Oklahoma transfer who is slated to take on Auburn’s starting quarterback role, and the Tigers could see themselves as one of the top offenses in college football by the end of the season.
How can you maximize Singleton to the best of his ability? Last season at Georgia Tech, 72% of his receptions came on routes shorter than 10 yards, where he logged 278 yards and two scores. Singleton will be a great, close option to turn to should opposing defenses create pressure on Auburn quarterbacks.
Auburn’s defense will be strong this season, especially at defending the pass. The Tigers’ defensive back squad will be great in pass coverage, which will blend perfectly with Faulk’s ability to rush the passer. The rising junior created 45 quarterback pressures last season, with nine resulting in sacks. He posted five or more pressures in five games last season, with a season high of seven in Auburn’s four-overtime win over Texas A&M last November.
If you are looking to take Auburn to the top of college football in the latest EA release, Singleton and Faulk will be key to your success.
