Players who opt-in to “College Football 25” will receive a $600 NIL check, but several high-profile athletes will receive more lucrative deals that include title branding and trailer appearances ahead of the game's summer 2024 release. I tied it.

What you need to know about Cover Star
Michigan RB Donovan Edwards
CBS Sports Top 100 Ranking: Unranked
Some may see it as an odd choice with Edwards being the absolute front line and center, but reigning national champion Michigan deserves first place and lost a number of players in the NFL Draft. Defensive tackle Mason Graham and cornerback Will Johnson Jr. are better players but don't have the same mass appeal as Edwards. Edwards gained 104 yards and two touchdowns on just six carries in the title win against Washington. With Blake Colm gone, he has the backfield pretty much to himself.he eventually Great choice as a cover boy.
Texas QB Quinn Ewers
CBS Sports Top 100 Ranking: 15th
As Texas moves to the SEC, all eyes will be on Quinn Ewers to see if the former No. 1 overall pick can make the final leap into becoming an elite national championship-winning quarterback. There are a lot of skilled players around him. He should be fine in other games as well, including the road show at Alabama (349 yards, 3 TDs in the win) and throttling Oklahoma State in the Big 12 Championship (454 yards, 4 TDs).
Colorado CB Travis Hunter
CBS Sports Top 100 Ranking: No. 1
The most famous player in college football is Travis Hunter, who plays both ways for Colorado State's team and consistently garners headlines. Hunter will likely remain a cornerback in the NFL and is projected to be a top-three pick. Hunter, ranked No. 1 in the Class of 2022, made a splash on his signing day by transferring from Florida State and signing with Jackson State and Deion Sanders. When Sanders left Jackson State for the head coaching job at Colorado in 2023, Hunter followed. He's pure dynamite.
