EA Sports has been heralding the return of popular video games for the past few years. EA hasn't released a college football video since his July 2013 release of NCAA Football 14. It will be interesting to see how EA presents this game. A lot has changed in college athletics since 2013, including the transfer portal, conference realignment, and the NIL.
Name, image, and identity are elements of the game, as student-athletes have the opportunity to promote themselves within the game. NIL was also a hurdle for his EA as it went back and forth on what players wanted in order to participate in the game. Student-athletes who opt in will receive $600 and a copy of the video game.
Jahiem White finishes his freshman season rated as one of the best running backs in the country.
Jahiem White ran for 842 yards and four touchdowns on 109 carries in his freshman season. He averaged 7.7 yards per carry and added another 125 yards and two scores as a receiver. PFF rates White as one of the top running backs after the 2023 season.
