A major video game franchise has confirmed that Nebraska’s coaching staff will be active participants in this season’s upcoming release. EA Sports College Football 26 will feature over 300 real-world coaches, and Nebraska head coach Matt Rhule, offensive coordinator Dana Holgorsen, and defensive coordinator John Butler will be featured in the game.
Last season’s release gave players the ability to allow their Name, Image, and Likeness to be used in exchange for $600 and a copy of the game. Now, the coaching staffs can opt in to have their likeness used in-game. In a press release, EA Sports celebrated this new addition to their franchise.
“Suit up for Ryan Day. Compete against Kirby Smart. Recruit as or against Dan Lanning. Go toe-to-toe with current coaches who bring distinctive playstyles to the field. Strategize like they would with their unique playbooks for a more authentic coaching experience.”
This year, players will see their NIL payments increase from $600 to $1,500. EA Sports College Football 26 launches worldwide on July 10, 2025.
