EA Sports released its top 100 players in its highly anticipated college football video game Wednesday. Both Virginia and Virginia Tech landed a player on the list.
Virginia strong safety Jonas Sanker landed at No. 39 on EA Sports’ list. The senior is listed with a 92 overall rating.
Sanker is coming off a junior campaign that landed him a first-team All-ACC selection. His 107 tackles last year led Virginia and were No. 4 in the ACC. Sanker was third in the ACC in pass deflections with 11.
Sanker’s rating of 92 overall makes him the highest-rated strong safety in the game.

Virginia Tech cornerback Dorian Strong landed at No. 66 on EA Sports’ top 100. The graduate student is listed as a 91 overall player.
Strong was a third-team All-ACC selection last year and was named to Action Network’s All-American second team. Strong defended 11 passes last season, tying him with Sanker for No. 7 in the ACC.
Strong’s rating of 91 makes him the ninth-highest-ranked cornerback in the game.
Sanker and Strong are the fourth- and eighth-highest-rated players from the ACC in the game, respectively.
