Nate Marshall and others now featured for Michigan in College Football 26 video game

In this story:
With college football right around the corner, more players have chosen to opt into the new EA Sports College Football 26 video game. When the game launched last month, there were several players who weren't in the game -- made-up players were in their spot. But on Thursday, EA Sports updated the rosters and five more Wolverines opted into the game.
RB John Volker, OL Brady Norton, Edge Nate Marshall, P Hudson Hollenbeck, and LB Tyler McLaurin are now in the game and fans can use them the next time they play. However, there are still plenty of Wolverines who still haven't opted into the game. Freshmen Jasper Parker, Kainoa Winston, and Elijah Dotson aren't in the game. Neither are QBs Jake Garcia and Chase Herbsreit -- who was in the game when the game launched last month.
It's also noteworthy to mention RB CJ Hester is still on Michigan's roster, despite leaving the team.
Below, you can see the ratings of the five Wolverines who are now in the College Football 26 game.
RB John Volker - 80 overall
OL Brady Norton - 75 overall

Fans will be waiting anxiously to see the five-star talent take the field in Ann Arbor.
