Is EA College Football 25's depiction of Jaxson Dart a joke or just plain disrespectful?

Should we laugh or feel sorry for how Jaxson Dart turned out for the EA College Football 25 video game? He’s one of the top players in the game, but when an X user waiting for early access to the game saw his game character, he didn’t want to shake his head alone. So, he posted it on social media, and the quarterback noticed it. 

Get this: you’re going to laugh out loud, and you’re going to come back again to look and laugh because the creation is truly out of the question. How EA CFB created Jaxson Dart’s avatar can trigger the “what” in everyone’s mind. And per the Ole Miss QB’s reaction to his game image, he can’t believe it either. 

There is no such thing as a similarity between real-life Jaxson Dart and the game version of himself. Not even close. Except for that mustache that he’s proud of and that his mother disapproves of! Reposting a tweet by Barry Johnson of a photo of his video game avatar, he captioned, “Ain’t no way.” This picture will be the subject of roast for his friends to troll the 21-year-old for days on end.

Jaxson Dart is not just among the bulk of college football players who opted in for the EA College Football 25 but is among the top 100 players. As per Forbes’ EA CFB 25 Player Ratings, he ranks at No. 82 with a 90-overall rating. It’s not fair on EA’s part to fall short of creating a realistic image for Dart! He’s already becoming a popular face with all the NIL deals he’s been inking during the offseason. 

Jaxson Dart’s ever-growing NIL success

In late February, Jaxson Dart made waves in college football when he signed the first-of-its-kind NIL deal with private aviation company Nicholas Air. And now, he’s bagged another lucrative deal with Kay Adams. Per On3 NIL, Jaxson Dart has partnered with Dick’s Sporting Goods, where he’ll be starring in a new back-to-school campaign. According to reports, it is a deal worth around $100K.

What’s your perspective on:

Is EA College Football 25's depiction of Jaxson Dart a joke or just plain disrespectful?

Have an interesting take?

Under Lane Kiffin’s coaching, Jaxson Dart has excelled on and off the field. Last season, he led the Rebels to their first 11-win season, recording 3,364 yards and 23 touchdowns. Will his EA CFB 25 video game character win a similar hype among players? But again, when you pick Dart in the game, you’ll think twice about his appearance.

EA Sports College Football 25 launches worldwide on July 19. The much-anticipated video game will surely polarize fans over player looks and talents.
