In this guide, we’ll explore how you can reach for extra yards in College Football 26 and when it’s the right time to do so.
College Football 26 does a wonderful job of simulating real-life football matches, including many of the moves that the players have to perform during different plays. While College Football veterans might already know how to unleash each of these moves, new players to this year’s iteration might not even know these moves exist.
For instance, they might not be familiar with the Reach For It move in the game, which is an essential move to learn when running the ball. In this guide, we’ll explore how you can reach for extra yards in College Football 26 and the best time to utilize this mechanic.
How To Reach for Extra Yards in College Football 26
Firstly, you should know what the Reach For It move does. It is a move that will allow the ball carrier to push the ball a few extra yards forward while being tackled to the ground. However, you’ll only be able to trigger the move just as your player is about to drop. So, you’ll need plenty of practice to pull it off perfectly.
In terms of the controller scheme, simply hold up the right stick just as the tackle is about to knock down the ball carrier. If you time it correctly, you should see the player stretch out his arms while holding the ball to gain a few extra yards.

When Should You Reach for Extra Yards in College Football 26?
The Reach For It move is apt when you are close to the goal line and gaining even a few yards can mean a touchdown. Similarly, you should try to reach for the extra yards when you’re about to score a first down. In some scenarios, using it during normal play would also make sense, especially if the ball carrier is about to fall forward after a tackle. However, there are some inherent risks of using this move every time you’re being tackled. For instance, your player could easily fumble the ball while trying to stretch out his arms. The chances of such a thing happening are high when the tackler is moving in from a side angle or from in front of the ball carrier. In these instances, we’d suggest avoiding the Reach For It mechanic.
