Excited about kicking off in College Football 25? If you’re a Texas football fan, maybe you should temper your enthusiasm just a bit.
As noted by SI.com’s Longhorns Country, the initial launch roster for the Longhorns was missing two starters: star defensive lineman Alfred Collins and right tackle Cameron Williams. Among the other notable Longhorn absences on the roster is new defensive tackle Jermayne Lole (formerly of Arizona State and Louisville) and offensive lineman Malik Agbo.
Perhaps equally concerning, multiple players on the Longhorns roster were listed with incorrect numbers. Among the impacted stars? New Clemson cornerback Andrew Mukuba, new defensive end Trey Moore, and fellow defensive lineman Bill Norton.
There’s good news for fans, however: the new EA Sports game will come with roster updates, allowing the rosters to change to correct jersey numbers and perhaps add in players who had yet to agree to the NIL deal on the table.
For now, it’s unlikely that these initial systemic setbacks will keep many away from the game. And for those who are, just remember: number 95 may not have “Collins” on the back of his jersey, but he’s still Alfred Collins in our hearts.
