To truck in College Football 26, you only need to flick the right stick up once the defender is close. Once you do that, a trucking animation will initiate, and your player will try to power through the defender.

Trucking is more effective when performed by running backs and tight ends, especially physically strong and tall players. When done by quarterbacks or wide receivers, it has less chance of success.

It's a great mechanic to try and extend plays, gaining some extra yards, and even conquering some important first downs. A successful trucking move can turn a negative yardage play into a 5-yard gain, and sometimes even more.

To master trucking, we recommend you go to the practice mode, only select running plays, and always try to truck the defenders. This will give you a better feeling of when to truck, how to do it, and what to do after a successful trucking.

Trucking is also incredibly strong when paired with juking, spinning, and other moves. So, make sure you master the College Football 26 controls to learn how to combine trucking with other moves.
