A quarterback who can outrun the defense changes how you play College Football 27. When a pocket collapses or a lane opens on a read option, raw pace turns a broken play into a first down. The signal callers below carry the highest Speed ratings in the game, and a few of them pair that speed with the overall rating and agility you actually want when picking a team.
Quick answer: Austin Carlisle of ULM is the fastest quarterback in the game with a 93 Speed rating. For a fast QB you can win with, Trinidad Chambliss is the best pick, combining 90 Speed, a 93 overall, and 92 Agility.
10 fastest QBs in College Football 27 by Speed rating
The ranking below is set by the Speed stat first. Overall rating and Agility are included because Agility matters a lot for a quarterback when you are cutting through traffic or scrambling out of the pocket. Where players share the same Speed, the one with stronger supporting numbers sits higher.
| Player | Team | Speed | OVR | Agility |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Austin Carlisle | ULM | 93 | 70 | 88 |
| Hauss Hejny | Oklahoma State | 91 | 73 | 86 |
| Nate Johnson | Utah | 91 | 74 | 90 |
| Demond Williams Jr. | Washington | 91 | 88 | 90 |
| Trinidad Chambliss | Ole Miss | 90 | 93 | 92 |
| Michael Hawkins Jr. | Oklahoma | 90 | 79 | 92 |
| Marcel Reed | Texas A&M | 90 | 88 | 92 |
| Luke Moga | Oregon | 90 | 70 | 88 |
| Jack Daulton | — | 89 | 73 | 87 |
| Chris Jimerson Jr. | — | 89 | 70 | 88 |
Fastest QB: Austin Carlisle (93 Speed)
Austin Carlisle of ULM sits at the top of the Speed chart with a 93 rating, clear of the pack of 91-Speed passers behind him. His 88 Agility backs up that top-end pace. The catch is his 70 overall, which makes him a raw prospect rather than a plug-and-play starter. If your goal is pure straight-line speed, he is the fastest option in the game. If you want to win consistently in modes where overall rating matters, look further down the list.
Best fast QB overall: Trinidad Chambliss
Trinidad Chambliss is the most complete name on the list. He carries 90 Speed, a 93 overall, and a 92 Agility rating, so you get elite quickness without giving up the arm and awareness that come with a high overall. Among fast quarterbacks, he is the one you can build a serious run around. Right behind him, Demond Williams Jr. and Marcel Reed both offer strong overall ratings paired with 90-plus Speed, making them the next-best blends of pace and playability.
Why Agility matters as much as Speed for a QB
Top Speed gets you down the sideline, but Agility decides how well a quarterback changes direction when a defender closes in. A passer with high Speed and low Agility can feel stiff on the move. That is why Chambliss, Hawkins Jr., and Reed all stand out at 92 Agility, and why Nate Johnson and Demond Williams Jr. at 90 are smoother scramblers than their pure Speed suggests.
Note: several of these names are backups or developmental prospects on their teams. A high Speed rating is only useful if the quarterback is on the field, so check the depth chart before committing to a burner in modes like Head to Head, where overall rating carries more weight than in Dynasty.
Ratings shift over the life of the game as EA pushes roster updates, so the exact order here can change through the season. For now, Carlisle owns the top Speed number, while Chambliss remains the fastest quarterback you can realistically win with when overall quality is part of the equation.
