In this guide, we’ll help you learn how to perform the Stiff Arm in College Football 26, which should help you handle any tacklers.
College Football 26 is here, and it offers a thrilling experience that perfectly simulates the competitive football environment. It can also be a challenging experience, especially if you have the difficulty settings turned up. During matches, you can expect plenty of tackles from your opponent when you’re running the ball.
However, in such scenarios, you aren’t completely defenseless. This is where certain moves, such as the Stiff Arm, come into play. In the following guide, we’ll explore how you can perform a Stiff Arm in College Football 26 and when you should use it.
How To Perform the Stiff Arm in College Football 26
To perform the Stiff Arm move, you need to press and hold X on the PlayStation controller or A on the Xbox controller while running the ball. As soon as you perform this action, the carrier will extend one of his arms to push or shove away any incoming tacklers. Timing is key here, as mistiming the move might lead to the tackler taking you down and ending your run. However, if you manage to pull it off perfectly, the tackler will drop or fail, leaving you with a clear view of a touchdown.
However, you’ll need to remember a few things before unleashing this move:
- The Stiff Arm works in a one-on-one scenario. So, you won’t benefit from the move if you’re surrounded by multiple defenders.
- This move relies on the ball carrier’s Break Tackle and Strength stats. So, players who have high Strength and Break Tackle stats will perform the move better.
- Even if the move fails and you can’t escape the defender, you might still gain a few yards since the tackle will drive you forward.
- Don’t expect the move to trigger automatically when a tackler closes in. It’s completely up to you to time it correctly, so you’ll need plenty of practice.

When Should You Perform the Stiff Arm in College Football 26?
The following are some scenarios where performing the Stiff Arm could serve you well and rescue your run:
- Use the move if a defender is coming for you from either side. The Stiff Arm won’t work quite as well if the tackler is approaching you head-on.
- If you’re trying to get the goal-line score, you should use the Stiff Arm. Even if the move doesn’t succeed, the tackle might push you forward enough to help you cross the line.
- If your player’s Stamina is exhausted and you see a defender running toward you, you can perform a Stiff Arm. It’s better than doing nothing and might save your run in some instances.
- Tight ends, dual-threat quarterbacks, and power running backs are the perfect players to employ this particular move.
