One popular Ohio State football player is not in College Football 25

The Ohio State football team is one of the best teams in EA Sports College Football 25. They have the best defense in the game and the fifth-best offense in the game. That all adds up to them being the second-highest-ranked team in the game. They are probably going to be one of the top three teams when it comes to the preseason polls as well.

Most of the Buckeyes have decided to opt into the game. EA Sports was offering $600 and a free copy of the game to all players who wanted to be featured in the game. With all of the other NIL opportunities these guys are getting, that seems like a fairly reasonable price. Apparently, one of the Buckeyes’ best players didn’t think so.

J.T. Tuimoloau is one of the Ohio State football players not in College Football 25

One of the best players on the Ohio State football team is J.T. Tuimoloau. Not only is he one of the best defensive players on the team, but he’s one of the best players on the team period. He is one of the Buckeyes who is not in the game. It’s unclear as to why he decided to not allow himself to be in the game, but it could still change.

Tuimoloau is one of 11 Ohio State players who are not in the game. Josh Simmons is the only other starter who is not featured in it. Everyone else is either a freshman or a transfer who has barely been on campus. With there being roster updates throughout the year, there is a chance that some of those guys get put into the game later on.

Most Ohio State fans will be too deep in their dynasty to care that JTT isn’t in the game, but it is slightly surprising. It’ll be interesting to see if he gets asked a question about that at any point this year. My guess is that he’ll deflect anything if he does. He’s not one of the guys going to Big Ten Media Day either. A lot of other Buckeyes are still in the game.
