Cover stars possibly leaked for ‘EA Sports College Football 25’

Michigan has claimed the No. 1 spot in the final US LBM Coaches Poll of the 2023 season. As the season comes to a close, Dan Wolken looks ahead to what the next college football season may hold.

The release of a leak on the PlayStation Store has hinted at the faces that may grace the cover of the highly anticipated EA Sports College Football 25 video game. Michigan running back Donovan Edwards, Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers, and Colorado defensive back Travis Hunter are showcased in the leaked image, among others like Alabama’s Jalen Milroe, Georgia’s Carson Beck, and Ohio State’s Quinshon Judkins.

This upcoming college football video game marks the first of its kind since the franchise was discontinued in 2013 due to legal issues surrounding athlete likeness. Each player featured in the game will receive $600 and a copy of the game, incentivizing athletes to opt into being part of the game.

Edwards, who played a crucial role in Michigan’s national championship season, is expected to take on an even larger role in the upcoming season. Players like Ewers, Milroe, Judkins, and Hunter are all well-known figures in college football, with impressive performances under their belts.

The legacy of past NCAA Football games is evident in the fact that former Wolverines quarterback Denard Robinson was the last player to appear on a cover, back in “NCAA Football 14.” The game has remained highly sought-after, with copies reselling for over $100. Over the years, players like Charles Woodson, Ricky Williams, Joey Harrington, and Tim Tebow have graced the covers of the game, solidifying their place in college football history.
