Hunter Rogers is not happy with EA Sports after seeing his rating and designated position tag in the new College Football ’25 video game. The South Carolina Gamecock ripped the game online after seeing his profile.
Not only is his skill level viewed as particularly low, but EA Sports listed him at the wrong position completely!
Rogers is no scrub. He’s fresh off of a first-team All-SEC season in Columbia, which followed his second-team honors in 2022. That said, most probably haven’t heard his name before given his status as a full-time special teamer.
Rogers is the Gamecocks‘ long snapper and he’s entering his senior year.
More from GamecocksOnline:
Fifth-year deep snapper who has been an All-SEC performer in each of the past two seasons… handles both the long- and short-snapping duties… very consistent in his performance… local product who has appeared in 30 career games in a Gamecock uniform… has been credited with five rushing yards and a 23-yard touchdown reception along with six tackles.
His talents as a snapper are evident as noted by that lengthy list of postseason accolades, but he’s been a threat in other areas, too!
In South Carolina’s 2022 bowl game versus Notre Dame, he hauled in a 23-yard touchdown pass. He also nearly scored the team’s first touchdown of the year on a redzone rushing attempt earlier that season against Georgia State.
That might explain his reaction upon seeing the EA Sports snub.
Hunter Rogers is rated as a 56 OVR tight end in ‘College Football 25.’
And he’s not happy about it!
On Monday, he posted the following message upon seeing his simulated player profile.
56 overall TE 🤣🙄
Vertical Threat though!

Followers had some fun with his disappointment in the comments section.
“Long snappers are people, too!”
“#Motivation”
He’s one of a number of players to opt into sharing their name, image, and likeness for the video game, in return landing a $600 payday though an NIL deal. He also happens to be teammates with a player who’s a literal cheat code, making the snub all the worse!
Hopefully, Hunter Rogers is able to adjust his position in the game, or maybe he’ll just re-create a new version of himself altogether.
When the real football starts, you can be sure he’ll look to end his college career with yet another All-SEC honor.
