10 fastest QBs in College Football 25

Time to unleash the speed.

Just like in real life, quarterbacks are a big determinant of success and failure in College Football 25. From making pinpoinꦆt pass💞es to darting past opponents with a run, a QB has to do it all.

A quarterback’s speed might not always be necessary, as he also needs to shine in other areas like awareness (essential to survey the WRs). Still, you may find yourself caught in certain positions without an open pass. In such situations, your QB’s agility will come in handy. Here are the fastest quarterbacks you can play as in EA Sports College Football 25.

10 quickest quarterbacks in College Football 25

The best measuring stick for speed for any position in College Football 25 is the Speed stat (symbolized by SPD in at💎tributes). Here are the ten fastest names, based on the stats available ꦑat launch.

Haynes KingGeorgia Tech Yellow Jackets90

Nate Johnson of the Vanderbilt Commodores is the fastest QB in College Football 25. He’s quicker than the next name on the list, Michael Johnson Jr., by some distance. Do note that all ten names on this list are fast, and you’ll definitely notice how fleet-of-foot they are compared to other QBs in the launch roster.

However, speed is not everything, as throw power and overall rating also come into play. So, even though Nate Johnson is the fastest QB in College Football 25, he isn’t necessarily the most skilled. If you need a QB with speed, here’s a list sorted by overall viability.

Top 10 fastest QBs in College Football 25, ranked by overall skill, worst to best

10. Brendan Zurbrugg

Brendan Zurbrugg has a pretty low overall rating of just 68, making him the lowest-rated QB on our list. While his decent spe🌳ed may offer some perks, his overall makes him a po𓄧or choice considering there are better players on this list.

9. Cal Swanson

Cal Swanson may boast an impressive 90 speed, but he has the second-lowest overall of all the QBs on this list, coming in at a modest 71 overall rating. So while you can certainly put his speed to use in most lineu๊ps, his overall rating may let you down in key momꦓents.

8. Mike Wright

Mike Wright has a speed stat of 91, making him quite the speedster. However, his overall only comes in at 73, making him not much better than Cal Swanson. He is ever so slightly faster, so if speed is what you’re after he may be your QB, otherwise stock to the other names on this list.

7. Hauss Hejny

Despite his blistering pace of 91, Hauss Hejny only has a 74 overall rating, making him a pretty mid-tier QB. He is only a Freshman though, so he does have plenty of room to grow and improve. If you’re investing for the future, this could be your pick.

6. Michael Johnson Jr.

Michael Johnson Jr. has the second-highest speed among QBs on this list, but with an overall rating of 76, he doesn’t quite make the cut in terms of overall quality. He’s a senior, too, so doesn’t have much room to grow. Still, he’s the second-fastest QB in College Football 25.

5. Nate Johnson

Nate Johnson, the fastest QB in College Football 25, is only fifth on the top ten most feasible fast QB’s. He’s a junior, so does have a little room left to grow, but overall you may be better off sacrificing his insane speed for some other, more helpful stats. His overall rating is only 77.

4. Alex Orji

Alex Orji has an impressive speed stat of 91, but his overall rating is just 78. Still, that makes him one of the better QBs on this list, but not quite a global superstar just ye🐬t.

3. Taylen Green

Taylen Green is where it gets interesting, with him just cracking what it takes to be considered world-class. His overall rating is an impressive 80, and when paired with his speed stat of 91, thi✅s makes him quite a fast QB — but he also ha🎀s some skills.

2. Haynes King

The only thing more impressive than Haynes King’s 83 overall rating is his speed stat, which is why he’s on this list in the first place. His electric speed makes him a threat in running plays, while he can also perform his traditional QB role with class.

1. Jalen Milroe

Jalen Milroe isn’t just fast with his 91 speed rating, he also boasts a world-class 90 overall rating. This makes him by far the best QB on this list, if not the fastest. Nate Johnson remains the fastest QB, but if you’re looking for more than just speed, Jalen Milroe is your man.

In terms of overall ratings, Shedeur Sanders and Carson Beck outdo the names on this list. Both athletes have 𒁃identical overall ratings of 93. However, Sanders and Beck, with speed ratings of 80 and 74, respectively, are significantly slower than the like♔s of Nate Johnson, Michael Johnson Jr., and Jalen Milroe.
