CFB25 In The Game: Wisconsin, Minnesota and Dakotas Edition

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>As you can imagine, we have spent plenty of time playing the new College Football 2025 video game outside of constantly writing camp, rankings, and other reports. Obviously when you are scanning thru several of the 130+ college football rosters this series was going to take a while, but I feel this is as close as I could get to finding all the prospects that are "In The Game" in CFB 2025. We even take it to the next-level and tell you how many hail from each state and school, and as you would expect with this grouping, the Badgers and Gophers dominate the list. We also will tell you where we had x player ranked by our Prep Redzone rankings that we pulled from years back and we will make a few takes on if we felt EA got a rating wrong, etc. from our eyes of watching several of these young men in high school. 78 players it what we found in Minnesota (40) Wisconsin (34) and the Dakotas (7).</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"style":{"typography":{"fontSize":"24px"}}} --> <p style="font-size:24px"><strong>Minnesota (40)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Minnesota Golden Gophers (18 MN Natives)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Max Shikenjanski, QB, Minnesota/Stillwater</strong> <strong>2023</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>58 overall.
