EA Sports officially unveiled the cover of College Football 25 on Thursday, and the latest instalment of the company's popular video game features Colorado's Travis Hunter front and center. The Buffaloes' two-way star is pictured center alongside Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers (left) and Michigan running back Donovan Edwards (right).
Hunter, who won the Paul Hornung Award for the most versatile player in college football, was a beast for the Buffaloes last season. As a wide receiver, he recorded 57 receptions for 721 yards and five touchdowns. Defensively, the shutdown cornerback recorded 30 tackles and three interceptions. Perhaps most impressively, Hunter played more than 1,000 snaps from scrimmage despite missing more than three games with an injury suffered against Colorado State.
Several well-known players have graced the cover of EA Sports' college football video games, from Nebraska's Tommy Frazier in 1996 to Michigan State's Denard Robinson in 2013. Last week, the PlayStation Store revealed artwork for the Deluxe Edition of EA Sports College Football '25, which features Hunter, Ewers and Edwards on the cover. Hunter is the first Colorado Buffaloes player to appear on the cover of the popular game.
