Travis Hunter and Jalen Milroe's gesture—Is this the kind of sportsmanship we need more of?

“It’s in the game,” reads the slogan of EA Sports. But when it’s about Travis Hunter and Jalen Milroe, they’re not only in the game, they simply dominate it, not only in the real game but also off-it, especially when he’s in the EA Sports CFB 25 game. The two have already etched themselves as the cover stars of the game, making them an instant hit among the fans. Almost as a tribute to the fans for showing so much love for the feature, Hunter and Milroe decided to take a day out for the fans.

It was a ‘two birds with one stone’ matter for Hunter and Milroe, as they were not only getting all the love from their fans, but they were also promoting themselves and the game simultaneously. Travis Hunter was spotted at an outlet of Buffalo Wild Wings, a CU favorite snack spot. Surrounded by fans, Hunter was laughing away with the controller in his hand, defeating his fans in the EA Sports CFB 25. “Such a fun atmosphere,” quoted the source that shared the clip of Hunter playing with his fans.

On the other hand, Milroe, who starred on the deluxe cover of EA Sports CFB 25, held a special party at McDonald Hughes Center in Tuscaloosa to play the game with 25 young people on July 20. “It’s all about giving back to the kids,” Milroe believes.

Having an opportunity to be around more people and then also to build in the community of Tuscaloosa. It’s been awesome. Just to have the game of football, the game of football is a beautiful vehicle to meet a lot of people, and I was able to do that today,” Milroe said, with a contempt smile on his face, evident of the good time he had a connection with his young fans. To add to his delight, this is not the only good decision Milroe has made for himself lately.

Jalen Milroe invests in a video game console for EA Sports CFB 25

Before the latest version of the game, CFB 25 dropped in the market on July 19 after almost 10 years, Jalen Milroe did not own a video gaming console. Thanks to the release, Milroe changed that and bought the latest version of Play Station to thoroughly enjoy the game in which he featured as a top QB.

During his CFB 25 event with the youth, Milroe expressed how this game is special to him, especially because of his new PS. “I think it’s pretty cool because now I have my first PS5 and I have video games, this is my first time having one,” the QB confessed.

The young players that he met were a combined effort of Milroe and The Lab Sports Performance Training Organization to give the marginalized community youth a chance to meet their idol. They had a game with Milroe, with the winner getting a free copy of it. The money that was raised from the event was donated to the Ivy Foundation.
