BallKnowMe college football, by the numbers

Player ratings 2025 season

These are 2025 grades, not 2026.

2026 hasn’t been played and no source has published 2026 rosters yet, so there is nothing to grade for this year. Showing last season’s number as if it described this year’s team would be guessing. These update once real rosters and real games arrive.

What this grade is. Box-score production, adjusted for who it came against, shrunk toward the positional average when a player has few games, then ranked within position — so 50 is average for that spot and 85+ is elite. A 90 quarterback and a 90 corner are each elite for their position; the numbers aren’t comparable across positions in any other way.

What it isn’t. It has no charting or play-by-play grading behind it, so it rewards production rather than technique — a back on a run-heavy team gets more chances to produce than an equally good back who touches it half as often. Offensive line grades are team-inferred: college football publishes no individual OL box stats anywhere, so those rows carry the team’s offensive rating and are flagged, not a measurement of the player. Kickers and punters are graded on volume-light stats and are the least reliable.
