EA Sports CFB 26: This Texas Longhorns Defender is a Beast on Offense<\/a> originally appeared on Athlon Sports<\/a>.<\/p>\n

One Longhorns freshman on D is a legit beast with the ball in his hands — change his position to HB and thank us later.<\/p>\n

Whether you’ve catapulted the ULM Warhawks<\/a> headfirst into the College Football Playoff or sat helplessly while the transfer portal robbed your ostensibly title-quality roster blind, it’s useful to remind gamers such as ourselves that EA Sports<\/a>College Football<\/a> 26 IS NOT REAL, but an interactive simulation.<\/p>\n

If you can internalize this, the Electronic Arts killer app promises some unexpected wrinkles worth celebrating. This is particularly true for fans of Steve Sarkisian’s<\/a>Texas Longhorns<\/a>, whose beloved squad boasts a true freshman not only with a mislabeled default position, but the ability to wreak savage havoc on the entirely opposite side of the ball.<\/p>\n

Believe me, Burnt Orange<\/a> family, you need to pick up those sticks and convert safety Jonah Williams from outside linebacker — yeah, they already got that wrong — to running back in CFB 26.<\/p>\n

Let me explain.<\/p>\n

Restless Texas Longhorns fans hoping to withstand the dog days before the 2025 college football season should put the ball in Jonah Williams’ hands in College Football 26.\u00a9 Aaron E&period; Martinez&sol;American-Statesman &sol; USA TODAY NETWORK<\/p>\n

Fans Should Convert Texas Longhorns LB\/S Jonah Williams to RB in CFB 26<\/p>\n

Devotees will note that Williams was already a two-way threat at Ball High School in Galveston, Texas, manning both safety and outside linebacker spots along with wide receiver (more on that in a moment). For good measure, he also played baseball and ran track.<\/p>\n

All told, Williams stacked up 172 total tackles, 10 interceptions, and 16 passes defended along with 2,335 all-purpose yards and 25 total touchdowns from scrimmage. He was a consensus five-star recruit and ultimately chose Texas<\/a> over age-old rivals Oklahoma<\/a> and Texas A&M<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I think you know where this is going.<\/p>\n
