Memphis Football CFB 27 Running Back Rankings

EA Sports College Football 27 releases on July 9, so it’s a good time to look at the ratings for the Memphis roster. EA Sports rated the Tigers as a 77 overall, and both the offense and defense are rated as a 77.

Only three running backs are currently in the game, but freshmen Eric Perry and Jordan Thompson will likely be added in a later update. When the game releases, Colorado running back Dallan Hayden will be the highest-rated running back for the Tigers as an 80 overall. 

All three of the running backs come in between a 77-80 overall, and all three have a speed rating of 87 or better.

Most of the preseason magazines predict Jaylin Carter will be the starting running back, with Hayden or Manny Covey serving as the backup back. Carter transferred from Southern Miss with the coaching staff, and it appears most think he will be the starter because of the continuity with the staff, including running backs coach Telly Lockette.

All three running backs played at the FBS level last season, so all three were in the game last season. Two of the running backs have higher overalls, while Hayden’s went down from last season’s launch date.

Haden was an 81 overall when the game released last year, but by the end of the season, he was rated a 79. The college football video game updates throughout the season, allowing EA Sports to update players’ overalls throughout the year.

According to teamcrafters.net, Covey was a 76 overall when EA Sports College Football 26 released, but he improved one overall to a 77 following the final update to the game. 

Carter is the big riser from last year’s game. He ended the season as a 72 overall and will debut in College Football 27 as a 78 overall.
