"Let me talk to the graphic guy": Clemson OL Walker Parks gives hilarious reaction to his character in EA Sports College Football 25 trailer
The excitement for EA Sports College Football 25 is unstoppable, especially after the release of its trailer on Friday. Set to be released on July 1, the video game trailer showcased licensed player models and iconic traditions from various Power Four and Group of Five programs. Among them was the Clemson Tigers OL Walker Parks.
Clemson's offensive lineman Walker Parks, standing at an impressive 6-foot-5 and 310 pounds, found his in-game character looking even bulkier than his already substantial physique in real life. Amused by the contrast, Parks took to social media with a hilarious reaction.
On Instagram, he posted a story with the caption:
"@easportscollege LET ME TALK TO THE GRAPHIC GUY 🤣"
A college football X/Twitter account posted a picture featuring Clemson players' and their avatars' massive physiques, to which Walker replied:
"Come on man I ain’t that big 😂"
Despite this playful critique, the EA Sports College Football 25 trailer has generally been well-received. Fans are excited to see their schools featured in the video game and are looking forward to the revamped gameplay.

College sports stars' connection with EA Sports College Football 25
The internet is buzzing with excitement, and college sports stars are weighing in on the release of the EA Sports College Football 25 trailer. Among them are Miami Hurricanes athletes, Haley and Hanna Cavinder, who shared the trailer on their Instagram story with the caption:
"THROW UP THAT U #eapartner."
The Cavinder twins have collaborated with the gaming giant to promote the long-awaited game which is returning after a decade.
The cover of the game features current stars like Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers, Colorado’s versatile cornerback Travis Hunter, and Michigan running back Donovan Edwards. However, the Michigan man was unsure about his place on the cover. In an interview with 247 Sports, he shared his doubts with former Michigan teammate Blake Corum.
"I called Blake when I got the call, and I was like, man. This is just crazy because, like, I always think I can do better. I’m very hard on myself, right?"
Credit to Blake Corum who kept a calm head while reassuring Edwards. The former Michigan running back said:
"You deserved to be on the cover as you had gone through so much growth mentally, emotionally, and spiritually."
With July 19 on the horizon, fans can't wait to see their favorite athletes in the digital world.
