Sam Hartman shares his first screenshot of EA Sports NCAA College Football 2025
The early access for EA Sports College Football 2025 dropped on Monday, and many, including former Notre Dame football quarterbackSam Hartman fired up their consoles. The current Washington Commanders player shared on social media that he had to get some frustrations out, but not with his most recent former team, the Irish. Hartman routed Clemson using Wake Forest, scoring 105 while allowing 34 points. It makes plenty of sense for him to target the Tigers, as he faced them four separate times in his collegiate career, each of them resulting in a loss for Hartman’s teams. His best shots came this past season and in 2022 when they battled into a second overtime.
