Excitement for EA Sports College Football 25 is soaring. EA has fueled the anticipation with teasers, a star-studded cover, and a new trailer, making fans eagerly await its July 19th release. The Buffs’ two-way star and cover athlete Travis Hunter even shared the trailer with a satisfied “They got your boy lookin’ nice!”  

It seems the production team captured the true essence of college football with authentic stadiums, original crowd chants, and even live-looking mascots. It was even revealed that the team spent a whole month perfecting the “fluidity” of Ralphie, the Buffaloes’ mascot. While Ralphie and Hunter received due justice, the internet feels Clemson Tigers’ lineman Walker Parks was overlooked. Parks playfully voiced his disappointment with the design team which is now taking the internet by storm.

EA Sports College Football 25’s poster might have featured only a few select players, but the trailer was a feast for fans’ eyes. The video captured the essence of college football with players in their team jerseys making their way through stadiums and executing their signature moves. The authenticity of the script and the well-crafted visuals have garnered widespread praise. However, one particular shot of Clemson’s offensive lineman Walker Parks caught the attention of many. It showed him as a “big guy” in his number 64 orange jersey, leading him to playfully tag EA Sports on his IG story, asking “LET ME TALK TO THE GRAPHIC GUY.”

Later, the CFB Kings team shared a screenshot of the clip, captioning it “Clemson in the CFB25 trailer.” This prompted Parks to repost it, saying “Come on man I ain’t that big.” While the offensive star is undoubtedly a massive 6-foot-5 figure weighing 310 pounds, it seems the design team took those numbers a little too literally, creating an even more imposing figure on the field.
