A Michigan football standout has been officially confirmed as part of the EA Sports College Football 25 roster.
One of the Michigan football players confirmed to be featured in the upcoming EA Sports College Football game, set to launch this summer, is Will Johnson. College football enthusiasts worldwide have eagerly awaited the return of the beloved game, which has been absent from the gaming scene for over a decade since former Michigan football quarterback Denard Robinson graced its cover. Speculation abounds regarding potential cover stars, with some pondering whether a player from last season’s national championship team, such as J.J. McCarthy, could land the coveted spot.
While the cover star remains a mystery for now, it’s confirmed that EA Sports College Football will feature all 134 FBS teams, including Michigan football. Players have the option to opt into the game starting Thursday, sparking excitement among Michigan football fans, particularly with the inclusion of five-star cornerback Will Johnson.
According to a report by Hayes Fawcett of On3.com, Johnson is the first Michigan Wolverine to be officially confirmed for the game. As the defensive MVP of the national championship game, Johnson stands out as one of the most prominent U-M players set to return, alongside talents such as running back Donovan Edwards, defensive tackles Kenneth Grant and Mason Graham, and tight end Colston Loveland.
These players boast the potential to become early-round draft picks, with Johnson potentially heading for a first-round selection in 2024 if he were eligible. The recent headlines surrounding Johnson gained attention after he dispelled rumors of a transfer to Alabama through a text message to his father, affirming that the rumors were “all Cap,” as reported by On3.com.
