Road to Glory has always been a premier mode for College Football games. In College Football 26, this remains true but there are some possible areas of confusion. Luckily, we are here to help with our College Football 26 Road to Glory Player Creation Guide.
This will be a step-by-step College Football 26 Road to Glory Player Creation Guide from the first screen to the last decision. To be clear, you can make your player how you would like but this will show you each step and everything you can choose from. Lastly, note that this was made on Launch Day and things can and will change with patches in the future.
Step 1: Setup
Here you will be able to do all of your settings. You can change conferences to get the teams you want to play against each other. You will also be able to build a High School team, which is new this year, and import your real Alma Mater or a fun one.
Step 2: Pick What Type of Prospect You Are
There are four choices here. You can either be a highly recruited top-of-the-country prospect or start from humble beginnings. Note that this will affect the schools you can get into. While you can get into a top school as an “Underdog” or “Contributor”, you will have to play extremely well in the High School games and likely will not be a starter.

Step 3: Picking a Position
You will pick one of five different positions. They are Quarterback, Runningback, Wide Receiver, Mike Lineback and Cornerback.
Step 4: Pick an Archetype
This is one of the most important steps. You will decide how your player will play the game, what they will be good at. There are certainly plenty of options this year, even if not every position is available. Pick wisely, as this will affect your stats.
Step 5: Create a Player Menu
From here, you will start to actually create your player. You will need to use the back button to move out of some options.
Step 6: Input Player Informatio
Here, you will pick your name, jersey number and so on. One very important note will be your “Home State”. Where you are from will greatly help or hamper your ability to get into to certain schools and will have a major impact later in the process. You can also pick a more generic High School here if you did not make one.
Step 7: Customize Your Player
Above is a look at all of the different options you will have to customize your player. Note that you can press either Y of Triangle (depending on the console you play on)
to customize or morph certain features a bit more.
It was a bit surprising the the character editor was lacking quite a bit compared to many others these days.

Step 8: Confirm Your Details
This will be your absolute last chance to go back and change some of these aspects. As a reminder, things like your state, height and weight will impact where you play as the game tries to recruit you.
Step 9: Choose Your Schools and Start Player
Once you have finished up, you will put in your Top 10 schools and start getting recruited. There will be schools still recruiting you every week outside of your Top 10 but this will allow you to track those specific ones. After that, you start playing and see where you end up.
Best of luck and hopefully this guide will help you create the best player possible in College Football 26!
