EA Sports is seemingly getting close to deciding on who will grace the cover of the upcoming highly-anticipated college football video game.
EA Sports is set to resume the beloved video game franchise that initially ran from 1994 to 2014. Two months ago, the video game developer giant announced that “College Football 25” would be released in the summer, giving fans their first college football video game in more than a decade.
With a long list of big-named superstars across the NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision, just how will EA Sports narrow down their cover athlete choice to just one? Well, it sounds like they’re trying something different this year.
According to a report from Matt Brown of Extra Points, the “College Football 25” video game will feature multiple athletes on the cover. All of the athletes will be from “a different power conference,” and they “all play different positions”, according to Brown:
“Each cover athlete is a current college football player who plays in a different power conference. There was plenty of internet speculation that the cover athlete could potentially be a coach (Nick Saban?), or any number of athletes that played during the years the game was not released (previous Heisman winners?) or even fans/mascots (the Oregon Duck?!?). Those were reasonable guesses, but I’ve been told that the athletes will be current athletes…people you will see play actual college football this season.”

Georgia quarterback Carson Beck, Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders and two-way star Travis Hunter, Tennessee edge rusher James Pearce Jr., Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers and Oklahoma State running back Ollie Gordon II are among the big-named athletes who make sense as cover athletes for the game.
“College Football 25” Should Be A Record-Seller For EA Sports
The last installment, “NCAA Football 14”, wound up selling over one million copies. That was a large number at the time for a college football video game, but obviously nothing close to what the “Madden” games sell for.
But take a variety of factors into account, and it sure feels like the next college football video game will be a record-seller for EA Sports. Video game technology and quality has improved rapidly since 2014, not to mention that NCAA football is more popular than ever.
And considering how many fans have waited for a new NCAA game from EA Sports, you just know that folks will be flocking to stores and online shops to get their hands on a copy.
