Colorado's Travis Hunter Confirms He Will Be in EA Sports College Football 25

University of Colorado superstar wide receiver and cornerback Travis Hunter announced Friday that he will be in the upcoming EA Sports College Football 25 video game.

Hunter posted a College Football 25 graphic on Instagram and included the caption "I'm in the game."

EA Sports' hugely popular college football video game franchise has been dormant for over a decade, as the last release was NCAA Football 14 in 2013.

Lawsuits related to student-athletes not being compensated for their likenesses being used in the game were the deathblow to the franchise, but things changed in 2021 when the Supreme Court ruled that college athletes could be paid for their name, image and likeness (NIL).

That set the wheels in motion for the return of EA Sports' beloved video game series, and College Football 25 is officially set to release before the start of the 2024 college football season.

According to ESPN's Michael Rothstein, EA Sports announced that all 134 FBS teams will be included in College Football 25.

EA Sports also divulged that every player who opts into being part of the game will be compensated with $600 and a free copy of College Football 25.

Additionally, some players will be given the opportunity to be brand ambassadors for the game, and it appears as though that may be the case for Hunter since his Instagram post included a note that it was a "paid partnership" with EA Sports College Football 25.

Hunter began his collegiate career at FCS Jackson State, but when Deion Sanders left Jackson State to become the head coach at Colorado, Hunter went with him.

While Hunter was limited to nine games due to injury in his first campaign with the Buffaloes, he was still highly productive, finishing with 57 receptions for 721 yards and five touchdowns, while also recording 30 tackles, three interceptions and five passes defended on defense.

Hunter's star power and status as a two-way player will likely make him one of the most highly utilized players in College Football 25, meaning his inclusion is a major coup for EA Sports.
