No USC Trojans Players Make EA Sports College Football Top 100
Based on the list that was just released by On3, no USC Trojans players cracked the Top 100, which would lead us to believe that Lemon and Lane are the highest-ranked on the team.
Here is the Top 10 in the game:
- Ohio State, WR, Jeremiah Smith – 98 Overall
- Ohio State, S, Caleb Downs – 96 Overall
- Texas, LB, Anthony Hill Jr. – 95 Overall
- Notre Dame, RB, Jeremiyah Love – 95 Overall
- Alabama, WR, Ryan Williams – 95 Overall
- Clemson, EDGE, T.J. Parker – 95 Overall
- South Carolina, EDGE, Dylan Stewart – 94 Overall
- Tennessee, DB, Jermod McCoy – 94 Overall
- Arizona State, WR, Jordyn Tyson – 94 Overall
- Alabama, OT, Kadyn Proctor – 94 Overall
The 100th-ranked player is Arizona State safety Xavion Alford with a 91 overall rating, so Makai Lemon missed out by one point.
The USC Trojans have quite a few new starters at key positions, so I would not put much stock in this. Still, it is a bit surprising that neither Lemon nor Lane received a slightly higher ranking. On defense, I would have certainly thought that safety Kamari Ramsey would have been given a rating in the 90s.

Running Backs Waymond Jordan, Eli Sanders, and Bryan Jackson are all players who are sure to surprise plenty in the Big Ten this season.
Eric Gentry is another player who has the ability to be the best linebacker in the conference. The question for him will be whether or not he can remain healthy for an entire season.
