Wisconsin football ratings for NCAA 26 leaked
Where are the ratings for Wisconsin football players in the upcoming NCAA 26 video game?
For some Wisconsin football fans, last year’s release of NCAA 25 was a huge deal after the game went on a double-digit year hiatus. EA Sports is releasing NCAA 26 on July 10th, but before the game can be released, ‘unofficial’ player ratings for the upcoming game were leaked.
The website teamcrafters.net has released the leaked rosters and ratings, including the Wisconsin Badgers. The website features a complex layout, displaying each team’s top three offensive and defensive players, along with position group averages and individual player ratings.
After the disappointing season the Badgers endured last year, it shouldn’t be much of a surprise that there aren’t many highly-rated players, with just one player with a 90+ overall rating: cornerback Ricardo Hallman (90 overall).
Top 3 Offensive Players
RT Riley Mahlman - 89 overall
C Jake Renfro - 85 overall
LG Joe Brunner - 84 overall
Unsurprisingly, the top three players for the Wisconsin football team are all offensive linemen. Last season, Mahlman was among the highest-rated players on offense for the Badgers. This year, he is the highest-rated offensive player and the second-highest-rated player on the team.
Top 3 Defensive Players
CB Ricardo Hallman - 90 overall
SS Preston Zachman - 88 overall
CB Nyzier Fourqurean - 87 overall
The secondary for the Badgers is the clear strength of the defense and the team overall. Free safety Austin Brown is next on the list at 86 overall, making four members of the Badgers’ secondary in the top five players on the team, regardless of position.
Position Group Averages
Teamcrafters.net also broke down the Wisconsin football team ratings by position.
QB - 73 overall
RB - 81 overall
WR - 75 overall
TE - 70 overall
OL - 76 overall
DL - 74 overall
LB - 72 overall
Secondary - 78 overall
Kickers/Punters - 77 overall
The running back group is the best group by average on the team, led by Darion Dupree (82 overall) and Cade Yacamelli (82 overall). Dilin Jones comes in at 79 overall.
Billy Edwards Jr. is an 81 overall, while Danny O’Neil is a 75 overall. Incoming true freshman Carter Smith is a 74.

Again, these ratings are all ‘unofficial,’ but they will at the very least give Wisconsin football fans who plan on purchasing this year’s installment of NCAA Football an idea of where players on their favorite team stand.
