EA Sports' legendary college football video game is back on schedule, now that athletes can use their name, image, and likeness to make money. The cover for the deluxe edition of EA Sports College Football 25 was released to the media early Friday morning and features several notable players from across the nation, including Oregon State.
Oregon Ducks fans will be excited to see what appears to be Dillon Gabriel on the right side of the cover. This could be anyone since no name is shown, but based on his height and Gabriel's status as one of the best players in college football, it's safe to assume this is him. It seems.
Apparently conscious of both the latest edition of the game and the new Big Ten Conference that will see Michigan State win the national title in 2024, running back Donovan Edwards is essentially the star of this year's cover. ing.
Michigan State quarterback Denard Robinson was on the cover of NCAA Football 14 the last time a major college football game was published, so by featuring another Michigan State representative on the cover, It makes sense to honor him and the game.
Other notable players include Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers on the left and Colorado star cornerback and wide receiver Travis Hunter on the right. While some fans may not be happy to see a player on a team that hasn't had as much recent success as Colorado, Hunter's star power justifies the selection.
Less prominent are two quarterbacks in the Southeastern Conference, Alabama's Jalen Milroe and Georgia's Carson Beck. Both have good odds to win this year's Heisman Trophy and will be a crucial part of next season for both teams. Running back Quinshon Judkins, who transferred to Ohio State University, also appears on the far right of the cover.
Several team flags are displayed in front of the tunnel scene on the cover, including Ohio State, Iowa, Kansas State, Michigan, Florida, Notre Dame, Nebraska, and Auburn.
It's still two months away from its actual release, but college football gamers now have a concrete visual of what this year's game will look like.
