A familiar face is back in video game form for “EA Sports College Football 26.”

Washington High School alum Terry Moore, who is a senior graduate for the Duke Blue Devils, is featured in the new game, which is set for release on Monday. He was also in the “College Football 2025” version last season.

The last college video game released was “College Football 14” before EA was sued due to using players’ names, images, and likenesses (NIL) without payment. Last season, college football players were each paid $600 by EA for their NIL to be featured in the game. It has not been released how much the athletes get from this year’s game.

As was the case last year, EA Sports ranked players based on their overall performance the season before. Those players each have an OVR rating, which could rise and fall during the season based on their performances.

GameSpot was one of the first to get a look at the game ahead of its release. Moore, who plays safety, is ranked among the top five players at his position. The game breaks down the position this way:

1. Caleb Downs, Ohio State (96 OVR)

2. Dillon Thieneman, Oregon (93)

T3. Rod Moore, Michigan (92)

T3. Bud Clark, TCU (92)

T3. Terry Moore, Duke (92)

Moore said last year when it was announced he would be in the video game that he was thrilled when he heard the news.

“I always dreamed of being in a video game, hoping one day it would be Madden. It is incredible that the opportunity came early,” Moore told The Washington Daily News. “About every single one of my teammates is playing this game, we enjoy playing online against each other.”

Moore will be in Washington on July 19 to host his football camp. It’s the third straight year of the camp, which will be held from 9-11 a.m. at Washington High School.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. – Memphis softball has added its sixth transfer ahead of the 2025-26 season in catcher Jasmine Mack.
 
Mack spent her true freshman season at George Mason, appearing in 27 games while making 17 starts behind the plate and at third base.
 
“Jasmine will add depth to our battery and bring power to our lineup,” head coach Trena Prater said. “She is naturally strong and has a high softball IQ. Her true potential has not been tapped into yet and I am excited to develop her with my coaching staff.”
 
Mack, a native of Whitsett, N.C., made her collegiate debut against North Carolina on Feb. 14. She recorded multiple firsts the following day against Princeton, with her first collegiate hit being a three-run home run. It was the first of two multi-RBI performances during her freshman campaign, also logging three RBI against UMBC on March 12. Mack recorded her first multi-hit game against Georgetown on April 9, which also served as one of three games where she recorded multiple stolen bases.
 
She prepped at Eastern Guilford High School while also attending classes at the Early/Middle College at Guilford Technical Community College Greensboro. Mack was a four-time All-Conference selection in the Mid State 3A Conference. She was also a three-time honoree as a North Carolina 3A All-State selection, Mid State 3A Player of the Year, North Carolina West 3A All-District selection, also being named the Offensive Player of the Year in the West 3A District.

Louisville basketball’s Mikel Brown Jr. just completed his second gold medal run with Team USA. The Cardinals’ incoming freshman defeated Germany on Sunday afternoon in the 2025 FIBA U19 Men’s World Cup, and Brown was a key piece as he made the FIBA U19 World Cup All-Star Five.

Brown led Team USA in points, assists, efficiency, and made 3-pointers in their seven games, and while he might have been blatantly snubbed for the MVP, Louisville fans saw tremendous upside from the 5-star guard. The 6-foot-5 guard averaged 14.9 points, 6.1 assists, and 2.1 rebounds per game while shooting 46.7 percent from the field and 47.6 percent from downtown and controlling the pace of the game.

The Cardinals’ superstar had many highlights during his gold medal run, but one that went absolutely viral was his dunk attempt against New Zealand on July 5.

Mikel Brown Jr. teases another level he’s ready to unlock for Louisville basketball

Some fans (Kentucky) may see it as a missed dunk, but the rest of the nation sees this insane clip as a 6-foot-5 185, 185-pound guard soaring through the air and almost landing the best dunk of 2025. Brown displayed his pure athleticism in this clip and is showing the world that even as a point guard, he has the capability to dunk over and on defenders, ask Kentucky commit Malachi Moreno.

Brown showed the world he can shoot from beyond the arc at an exceptionally high rate, while controlling the pace of the game. He was also creating space for himself and his teammates and finishing at the rim through contact. However, adding the ability to soar through the air like he did in this clip is him giving the ACC and the nation a brief glimpse of what is to come in 2025-26.

This dunk attempt is far more than just a missed dunk. Brown is going to be a force to be reckoned with for Louisville basketball this upcoming season, and he just showed he has the skills and leadership to lead a program to a championship.

Brown’s gold medal run had Kentucky and Duke fans admitting that he is the best point guard in the nation. He also had experts stating that he wouldn’t just be the best incoming freshman but might also be one of the best players in college basketball.

The 5-star phenom committing to Louisville isn’t just going to help this program in 2025-26, but it will change this program forever. Louisville basketball is back, and it might be better than ever. The Cardinals are now in the lead for 5-star recruits in the 2026 cycle, and it goes back to Brown being the first major recruit to give Kelsey a chance.

Brown’s athleticism and ability to dunk on defenders are becoming new skills, and adding that to his 3-point shooting, court vision, and elite playmaking skills makes it clear that he will be an unstoppable force.

Brown is ranked as high as No. 6 in the 2025 cycle and the No. 1 point guard, and he is the second-highest commit in Louisville history. Louisville fans are counting down the days for their season to begin, but more specifically until that blockbuster showdown on Nov. 11 against the Kentucky Wildcats from KFC Yum! Center.

For all the latest on Louisville basketball’s offseason, stay tuned.

Last season, Penn State made its first appearance in the College Football Playoff, but fell short against Notre Dame in the semifinals after wins over Boise State and SMU in the first two rounds.

Despite losing multiple impact contributors to the NFL Draft, the Nittany Lions return multiple key players, making this program one of the preseason favorites to make another run in the College Football Playoff.

During an appearance on The Herd with Colin Cowherd, former Ohio State head coach Urban Meyer highlighted Penn State as one of his teams to watch for next season.

“Penn State is following the lead of the Wolverines and the Buckeyes,” Meyer said. “And that is, they have more seniors… Think about this, Colin. I never had the chance to coach fourth-year players. If I did, it was very rare. The difference between a fourth-year player and a rookie, or freshman, is night and day. You’re coaching grown-a** men. That’s a men’s locker room compared to a young person’s.”

Meyer highlighted the return of quarterback Drew Allar as one of the most important aspects of this team’s potential. He even went a step further, calling the Nittany Lions one of the most talented teams in the nation.

“Watch out for Penn State, man,” Meyer continued. “If Drew Allar can really improve as a quarterback, I agree with you, they’ve got the best backfield, I don’t think it’s close, in the country. They’ve got an offensive line that they can’t wait to get on the field. I think Penn State, Texas, and Ohio State are the most talented.”

Over the past two seasons, Allar has recorded 5,958 passing yards and 49 passing touchdowns. He led the Big Ten in passing touchdowns in 2023, while ranking top five in the conference in passing yards both seasons. Allar’s success did not translate to the postseason as he failed to surpass 200 passing yards in all three CFP games.

Allar’s success has led to one of the highest NIL valuations in college football, ranking No. 8 nationally. He has the highest NIL valuation among Penn State players with a projected valuation of $3.1 million. Running back Nick Singleton also has a projected NIL value of $1.8 million, according to On3.

As Meyer noted, Penn State’s running back room will be one of the most talented in the nation. Nick Singleton and Kaytron Allen return after surpassing 1,000 rushing yards last season. The duo has combined for over 4,000 career rushing yards and has a chance to reset the record book with another big season.

Penn State opens the 2025 college football season on Aug. 30 against Nevada. Kickoff is scheduled for 2:30 p.m. CT on CBS.
