Hurricanes appear in EA Sports College Football 25 trailer

The Hurricanes made a brief appearance in the trailer for EA Sports College Football 25, which was released Friday.

The moment a generation of college football video game fans have been waiting for is approaching.

EA Sports released the first gameplay trailer for its upcoming video game, EA Sports College Football 25, on YouTube on Friday morning. It is the first college football video game in over a decade, and the Hurricanes made a brief appearance in the trailer.

The trailer, which is just under two minutes long, includes a glimpse of Miami players celebrating. Based on their uniform numbers, the players are running back Mark Fletcher Jr., defensive lineman Rueben Bain Jr, defensive lineman Marquise Lightfoot (or wide receiver Robby Washington) and an unidentifiable offensive lineman.

The Hurricanes told the Sun Sentinel that the program was in the game in January, and more than two dozen UM players (including Bain and Fletcher) confirmed they had opted in to appear in the game.

The video game is scheduled to be released on July 19.

More than 12,000 college football players have opted to appear in the game. In order to appear in the game, players have to sign an NIL deal. Players who agree to be in the game will receive $600 and a free copy of the game, while other star players will be “ambassadors” for the game and will receive more money. Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers, Colorado two-way player Travis Hunter and Michigan running back Donovan Edwards are the cover athletes for this year’s game.
