Why you NEED to Recruit More Athletes in Dynasty College Football 25

[@Butters62189]

I found the 90+ speed scramblers are the best all around. I moved one to MLB and he won linebacker of the year as a freshman

[@pohorex6834]

I had a guy who played QB freshman year, then got moved to HB his sophomore year when a better overall QB came in, and the old QB played slot receiver on plays with a slot and RB1 when there was no slot. Put up a 1500 rushing-1800 yard receiving season, had 2 games where he had a rushing, receiving, and passing TD. Dude was a beast out of wildcat. Back to back heisman until he became exclusively a slot WR when a better running back came up to play. They need to bring back formation subs so badly

[@meast33]

yes I recall looking everywhere within the game for formation subs, thought I was tripping. NEEDS to be in the game, especially this game.

[@AlachiAnayo]

If you're willing to wait a year. Any player with high development will be good at other positions. Qb, rb, and wr make great lb, dbs, and zone safeties. Just make sure the speed is right. Redshirt them for a year and you have a decent dude

[@gucciflockajuice]

Facts. I study the depth chart before I do position changes

[@malcolmx2483]

Don’t sleep on them team player badges either 💯

[@carltonbanks5470]

I recruited a 4 star athlete scrambling QB. He played QB for me for 1 year after redshirting 1 year and was a backup 1 year. Switched him to RB his senior year. Instant 99 overall rated RB with 95 speed. 😂😂 Crazy.

[@KevinStiff86]

I basically had the same type of player, but I switched him to RB after his sophomore year because I had a shortage of backs and other QBs that were good enough to play. He won the Heisman at RB and left after his junior year, even though he was only a projected round pick. I tried convince him to stay, but it didn't work.

[@gucciflockajuice]

Did y'all run the rb pass more often with these guys?

[@KevinStiff86]

@@gucciflockajuice I only called that play about 5 times all season. He was so good at RB that I forgot he was my original QB 😅😂🤣

[@Donn_G]

Same I got a 3 star athlete who was a physical receiver 73 overall I put that mf at fs shit went to a mf 89 😭😭

[@malcolmx2483]

Same😂

[@link514]

Do not change any players position to outside linebaker if its a speed rusher architype. theres a bug in the game (i assume its a bug. it might just be that ea overlooked this) where speed rusher linebackers cant get abilities or upgrade their attributes. you cant even see either of those if you go to their player cards, the tabs under ratings and physical abillities are both blank

[@dutty721307]

There’s times I get like 6 QB athletes must because you have no idea where they’ll play. I got a 95 speed 6’4” TE out of doing this

[@tacticoolathleteperformanc3366]

It’s not unrealistic either….a lot of high schools just have their best athlete play QB. So colleges convert HS QBs to other positions frequently

[@overnightavenger1470]

Do yoi just pick one and go for it or on the position switch week just match up the one with the best overall?

[@LonghornsLegend]

I had an athlete Power Back and I mived him to DE which I had never done before but I had too many RBs. Man he was so dominant after a couple years and having 93 speed there was crazy

[@xfakter17]

I usually tend to go after athletes late in the process and find tons of gems. Found two 3 star qb athletes both with low to mid 90's speed and mid to high 90's throw power with mid to high 80s accuracies. Great vid

[@thickthorplays]

Great vid! Hadn't really thought about going in that heavily on athletes. Only thing I would say, on some of those guys whose speed is low , especially if they have a good dev trait, they could always get faster. You wouldn't know until you're able to check the skill caps, but they could be a "project " player. I've had players go up a much as 10 points in speed over their career.

[@CallMeJaden]

Appreciate it!

[@prestonjones1415]

I'm doing a little experiment in one of my dynasties. I'm over recruiting those 4/5 star athlete mlbs with 90+ speed and putting them at corner to see how their coverage develops. I don't want them to play corner but if they redshirt and sit for a year, then I move them to SS to play the hybrid/star position. That could wreck the rpos

[@carltonbanks5470]

Also 88 speed for a run stopper is very good. They are usually slower than the pass coverage LBs. Also I'd caution against switching offensive athletes to defense. Their play recognition and awareness will usually be so low they are unplayable and speed won't mean anything.

[@joecrispin6043]

Yeah but they redshirt it should be fine right?

[@zacharyrogers1071]

Agile, physical, and run stoppers are crazy

[@1deepppppppppppppppp]

Wym which position u talking de and wr and oline ?

[@Scott.A.Hettenbach]

Grabbed an athlete scrambler QB year one, redshirted him and he sat for 2 years and I had a better young QB come in so moved dude to CB and now he's a 91 overall junior starting CB and an absolute monster in press-man. Not exactly realistic, you don't see the QB➡️CB pipeline very often but I'm still digging it

[@yurisinclair4160]

Do you remember if his zone or man attribute was higher?

[@Scott.A.Hettenbach]

@@yurisinclair4160 man is way higher, he's like a 95 man and 80 press and 70 zone

[@KTBClub777]

MLB ATH Run Stopper are alright but Id still rather have a high end juiced up Pass Coverage MLB. They are even faster and have better defense and hands

[@KalebThomas-fx3sl]

Those MLB ath's turn into 85-87 ovr T-Fr Safetys

[@CSM.HBJ-Dogg]

I normally turn Regular Run stopper MLB with at least 85 speed to DE.

[@ObscureVictoriesGaming]

Great info! I've always loved athletes in '14, this video sold me on athletes for CFB 25!

[@CallMeJaden]

@@ObscureVictoriesGaming appreciate it!

[@charlesmoyer8408]

Athletes are by far my favorite they can multiple positions and they can be safetys linebacker all of it. I've done some crazy stuff with the Athletes and they become some of the best players especially gems either way they fire. And you can edit their weight and height if needed

[@Slashman3]

Don't be afraid to stick those ATH/QBs that aren't good enough to play QB at OLB and use them as a blitzer. I have had great success turning those guys into useful players. I do that with some of those Receiving Backs as well.

[@yourfavoritelawnguy2722]

The ATH are the only ones that get better skill bracket possibilities coming out of HS. I look at them as like they are such a good player overall the "scouts" couldn't decide how to use him. Getting a 95 speed acc release 6ft3 TE is a literal gamebreaker. ATH's are under recruited by the CPU right now forsure, in a fresh dynasty week 9 i found 3 different 5 star gems ATH that had zero offers

[@BidDrop3003]

I’ve been saying this since I started playing college football games they need to have it to where you redshirt a certain player. You can ask them to get to a certain weight, especially now physics is in the game but have a penalty to certain stats if you make them gain too much or too little

[@randallbowman2930]

Bosch's Mentals and Abilities would be enough for me to pursue him. I think those things are grossly undervalued. We all tend to get mesmerized by the attributes numbers...

[@Cautionarytale666]

If you recruit an ATH MLB and switch him to OLB, be careful and check his ratings as soon as you can. They’re bugged, so you can’t develop them. I think if the archetype changes, the ratings and physical tabs don’t show up at all. It’s so frequent that I don’t usually bother with it anymore. Same with switching guys from LOLB to ROLB.

[@David4js]

Thats if they become speed rusher archetype. That archetype is not meant to be OLB. You need to move them to edge

[@Cautionarytale666]

@@David4js that’s what I thought but I haven’t been able to test it much and didn’t wanna spit misinformation. Good to know!

[@craiglora4953]

Deff sleep on the athlete lineman. Two of my favorite recruits ever were ATH OL. I put them at the guard positions. Sophomore year their speed increased to 85 & 80 respectively. They both also had 90+ strength. They were absolute MONSTERS in the screen game & pulling in the run game it was unbelievable the ground they cover at that size. The pancake animations they get vs DBs are awesome lol sadly they never developed into elite players or went pro. Both capped out at 88 overall as Seniors but were super fun to play with ⏸

[@korionterivers9995]

I got a 5 star athlete lineman coming in now on the Ol. I can’t wait until he gets in and develops.

[@puffdutchtwo]

Deep threat WR make awesome RB got the #1 ATH and overall put him at TE 97 speed at TE unstoppable

[@ExplorinInTheWoods]

The physical WR ATH make great SS

[@swaeg3274]

If you move them to outside linebacker sometimes they end up stop progressing unless you move them from outside linebacker back to another position

[@steelersal]

great video! I also like to go after the athletes. I especially like the Physical WR athletes that have 75 strength, great release and 90+ speed and put them at the TE position. They cause so many mismatches in the pass game and are pretty decent in the run game as a blocker. Athlete scramblers are great when move to the HB position. They just seem to have that little extra over an elusive back.

[@CallMeJaden]

It would be nice ylto know what their primary position is. Some are obvious like scrambler or elusive but if you get one that says agile, power,, or pass protector that is 1 of 3 positions. You get one that says power rusher not only is that 1 of 3 positions it's also 2 different feild positions

How do you progress 2 way players? It seems like they only get better on one side of the ball. Maybe you need to switch their positions to offense/defense in the offseason every other year? Show me a recruit you can start both ways #1 at their position would be a good test.
