So who are the Trojans with the highest rankings in the game? Per a list put out by USC , Maiava tops the list at a 92 overall. Just behind him is cornerback Jontez Williams, who is a 91.
Five more USC players have an overall ranking of 85 or higher. Running back Waymond Jordan is an 88, followed by fellow running back King Miller, offensive lineman Elijah Paige, and defensive lineman Jide Abasiri, all of whom are an 87. Just behind them is wide receiver Terrell Anderson, who has a ranking of 86.
Notably, with USC as well as other schools, not every single player on the roster was selected for the game, while others chose not to be in it. As a result, there are some notable Trojans not featured, perhaps the most significant being wide receiver Tanook Hines.
College Football 27 was released earlier this month and is now available to purchase for several different consoles, including the latest editions of XBox and PlayStation.
