Monday’s highly anticipated release of Electronic Arts’ College Football 25 brought a little local flavor. Five former Butler County high school football players are featured in the long-awaited video game.

College Football 25 is the first in the series since 2013, when EA stopped producing the game amid lawsuits aimed at the NCAA about name, image and likeness compensation for college athletes.

Now for the first time, real players in college football can agree to have their likeness in the game.

That includes Maryland’s Josh Kaltenberger, Ball State’s Kevin Meeder, Hutchinson Community College’s Nick Hemer (formerly at Buffalo), Toldeo’s Chris D’Appolonia, and Colorado’s Nikhai Hill-Green each appear on rosters in the game.
