Auburn EDGE Keldric Faulk is a top-10 defensive end in EA Sports College Football 26
admin_news
Big things are expected from Auburn edge rusher Keldric Faulk for the 2025 season.
In the newest edition of the EA Sports College Football video game, he is listed as one of the top ten defensive players. He ranks No. 9 with a 93 overall rating. He is one of five players from the SEC to make the top ten. The other players from the Southeastern Conference are Anthony Hill Jr. (Texas), Dylan Stewart (South Carolina), Jermod McCoy (Tennessee), and Colin Simmons (Texas). EA Sports College Football 26 will be released on July 10th.
Faulk was second on the team last season with seven sacks behind Jalen McLeod who had eight. With McLeod now gone, Faulk will have to be the leader on the team in getting to the quarterback. If this season works out for Faulk, as many experts believe, he could be a first round draft pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. ESPN’s Matt Miller recently tabbed Faulk going No. 13 to the Dallas Cowboys in next year’s draft.
He will need help among the Tigers defensive front this season to eclipse his numbers from a year ago. The EA Sports video game is not the only one who sees Faulk as a top ten player. Earlier in the off-season, Pro Football Focus ranked Faulk at No. 5 in their top ten edge defenders. He has shown great improvement each year he has played at Auburn. He was selected to the All-SEC Freshman Team after the 2023 season with 36 tackles and one sack. The hope for Auburn fans will be he continues his yearly improvement and is a key part of a special season for the Tigers.
