EA Sports’ player ratings for College Football 27 have sparked plenty of debate, and one Florida State speedster may have a case for being rated even higher.
Seminoles wide receiver Micahi Danzy received a 95 speed rating in College Football 27, the highest speed rating on Florida State’s roster. That number still places Danzy among the fastest players in the game, but his track résumé makes the rating an interesting talking point.
Danzy is not just fast by football standards. He was a 2025 ACC champion in the men’s 400 meters and 4×100 relay, while also earning first-team All-ACC honors during both the indoor and outdoor seasons. He also set the ACC meet record and Florida State school record in the 400 meters with a time of 44.38 seconds at the 2025 ACC Outdoor Championships.
His speed credentials go back even further. Before arriving at Florida State, Danzy won the 400 meters and earned silver in the 200 meters at the 2023 USATF National Junior Olympics. He was also an FHSAA 2A state champion in both the 200 and 400 meters in 2023 and 2024. His listed personal bests include 10.57 seconds in the 100, 20.88 in the 200, and 45.88 in the 400 before FSU.
That elite speed has also translated to the football field. Danzy is coming off a breakout season that established him as one of the most explosive players in the country. His 21.1 yards per reception were the 4th-most in the country and give the Seminoles a different kind of weapon heading into the 2026 season.
Still, EA Sports assigned Danzy a 95 speed rating, short of the coveted 99 mark reserved for the fastest players in College Football 27. Considering his track background, record-setting 400-meter time, and growing role in the Seminoles’ offense, Danzy’s rating may be one of the more debated numbers on Florida State’s roster.
Even if the rating feels low to some fans, Danzy still owns the highest speed rating among Seminoles in the game, and he will have another season to prove he belongs in the conversation with the fastest players in college football.
