EA Sports NCAA College Football 25 was one of the most anticipated game releases in recent memory. One current Bruin wants to create history after being left off.
Notre Dame transfer wide receiver Rico Flores Jr., was left off of the Bruins roster in the game. NCAA College Football 25, which boasts both a massive database of players and a “real-world” feel, did not include Flores Jr. likely due to his transfer portal status when the game was developed.
Speaking to UCLA beat writer for The Los Angeles Times, Ben Bloch, Flores Jr. said, “Yeah, I gotta make ’em not forget ever again,” upping the ante and using the supposed snub as motivation.

Flores Jr. enters a Bruins receiving room that could use a breakout star. While UCLA has several high-profile receivers in their recruiting arriving in 2025, the new-look Bruins offense hopes to see flashes from some of their established players.
With a strong season on offense for Flores Jr., the Bruins, and Flores Jr, could benefit from the EA Sports snafu in the stat line this season.
