EA Sports has released its list of the top 10 fastest players in college football, with seven players from SEC schools making an appearance. The list features a mix of players who excel on the track and those who have used their speed to dominate on the field.
At the top of the list is South Carolina wide receiver Nyck Harbor, who boasts a blistering 99 speed rating. Harbor’s speed was evident in his performances at the SEC indoor track & field championships, where he finished fifth with a 20.87-second time in the 200 meters.
LSU’s Barion Brown and UCLA’s Rodrick Pleasant round out the top three, both earning 99 speed ratings. Brown’s speed on kick returns is particularly noteworthy, with the Kentucky native amassing 1,465 return yards in just three seasons.
Other players on the list include Arkansas’ Jordan Anthony, who won both the 100-meter and 200-meter races at the SEC Championships; Texas A&M’s Julian Humphrey, a cornerback who has reportedly reached speeds of up to 23 miles per hour in open space; and Penn State’s King Mack, a safety who played for Alabama before returning to his hometown team.
The list is led by Nyck Harbor, followed closely by Brown and Pleasant. Each player brings their unique speed and skillset to the table, making this year’s college football season one to watch.
