The Fourth of July holiday is officially in the books. Everyone will return to work on Monday as the highlight weekend of the summer will be in the books. Luckily another American tradition will return on Tuesday when EA Sports College Football 26 is released.

Time to dust off the gaming consoles because it is go time. Over the last few days, we’ve seen some leaks from EA Sports on what to expect from the game. On Thursday, Spruce’s YouTube channel released a 83-minute video that included every team’s home field entrance in the game.

The game’s developers are not ready to quit the “Go Big Blue” drum.

At the spring game in 2019, Kentucky experimented with this drum but we haven’t seen it since. Yet, EA Sports is not ready to get it out of the game yet. The one-time wonder at Kroger Field will still appear in the latest version of the popular sports video game.

We now know what Kentucky’s entrance will look like and that wide receiver Kendrick Law will be one of the fastest players in the game.

I’m not sure just how accurate that is. But it might be better than the our proposed Mark Stoops statue from a view years ago. We’re also learning some more about the UK roster.

Kendrick Law will be one of the fastest players in the game but starting punter Aidan Laros did not get a fair shake in the rankings. How is this even possible?

Kentucky punter Aidan Laros has a toughness rating of ZERO in CFB26 😭

He’s the only player in the game with a 0 in that category.

We will learn much more on Tuesday when the game is released just ahead of talking season. I’m sure many of you reading this may be submitting some PTO days later this week to sit back and enjoy the latest edition of this cult classic video game series.
