Best pipelines in College Football 25

In order to get the very best College Football 25 players in Dynasty mode, recruiting with the best pipelines is crucial.

If you’re hoping to successfully rebuild a program in College Football 25, knowing the ins and outs of recruiting is essential, and having a strong pipeline is a great way to convince players to sign with you.

Both small and large schools alike need to consistently recruit new talent in Dynasty mode as their players are transferred or drafted into the NFL. Here’s how the pipelines feature works in the game, and the best pipelines for recruiting.

Best College Football 25 pipelines

Florida, Texas, and California are the best pipelines in College Football 25, as these states produce the most four or five-star recruits. These three states are the country’s largest high school football hotbeds and regularly produce high-level college and NFL talent.

Specifically, EA confirmed that Southern California has a better chance of producing elite quarterbacks in College Football 25 and that East Texas will regularly develop big, physical wide receivers. By contrast, South Florida has established a reputation for speedy, deep-threat wideouts.

While these regions are great for producing talented players, that doesn’t mean you should solely focus on recruiting from there. Each school has a recruiting niche and areas with a higher-ranked pipeline.

There are also 14 different motivations a recruit cares about when choosing a school, so pipelines aren’t the only determining factor. But it’s something to remember the next time you start a rebuild.

What are pipelines?

Pipelines are different states and regions of the country in which schools have advantages in recruiting. College Football 25 has 50 different pipelines. Some are labeled as states, while others are more precise, like South Florida or Metro Atlanta.

Several pipelines are specifically known for producing certain player archetypes, like East Texas, which develops taller and more physical receivers in College Football 25.

When you create a coach in Dynasty, you can choose your designated pipeline, giving you an advantage in recruiting in those regions. However, each school already has established pipelines that don’t change, so players should keep that in mind when creating their coach.

College Football 25 uses a tiered ranking system to represent how strong a school is in recruiting players from a region, ranked from one being the weakest to five being the strongest.

For example, Florida University has a five-ranking in its North, Central, and South Florida pipelines based on a rich history of recruiting players from those regions and will not struggle to attract more recruits from those regions.

Players can take advantage of this system by having a higher chance to recruit four and five-star talent if their school has a higher-tiered pipeline in that region. Even small schools can take advantage of pipelines and out-recruit larger schools in some instances because of the tiered system.
