The new EA Sports College Football 26 video game releases to the world on July 10, but if you pre-ordered the game, you had early access since Monday.
Baylor fans, who have early access, are already playing with the Bears. But if you have to wait until July 10 or later, you may be wondering who some of Baylor’s best players are in the game. We have you covered.
Here is every Baylor football player on the defensive side of the ball. With players having to opt in to get into the game, there are some omissions on the roster. While those players might not be in the game on launch day, there is a good chance they will opt in at a later date. Last year, EA Sports would update the game and upload more and more players as they decided they wanted in the game.
