The excitement is palpable as the game promises to bring the beloved college football experience to life with stunning graphics, immersive gameplay, and all the pageantry that makes college football special.

This first glimpse has set the community abuzz, rekindling the passion for college sports and raising expectations for a game that captures the heart and soul of Saturdays in the fall. The full game will be released on July 19 and will be available in Standard, Deluxe and MVP editions. Pre-ordering before June 27 will also grant early adopters a Heisman Hopeful Ultimate Team pack, adding even more excitement to this highly anticipated release.

Historic Cover Unveiling

Yesterday, ahead of the game's full reveal, Electronic Arts Inc. unveiled the historic covers of EA Sports College Football 25. The covers feature three current college football stars: Michigan running back Donovan Edwards, Texas Longhorns quarterback Quinn Ewers and Colorado Buffaloes wide receiver/cornerback Travis Hunter. The game offers thrilling action across 134 FBS schools, enabling fans to experience the legendary college football atmospheres on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series XS.

Cover Athletes

Edwards, Ewers, and Hunter grace the covers of both the Standard and Deluxe Editions of College Football 25.

"Donovan, Quinn, and Travis are extraordinary talents who impressed and entertained millions of college football fans on the field last season and are poised to do so again this year," said Daryl Holt, SVP and Group GM of EA Sports. "We’re proud to incorporate thousands of current athletes in College Football 25, and featuring this trio of playmakers and their iconic college programs on the cover is a perfect fit as we usher in a new era for EA Sports and college football."

Athletes' Achievements

Each cover athlete boasts impressive credentials from the past season. Edwards was instrumental in the Wolverines’ national championship game, becoming the first player in College Football Playoff (CFP) history to score two rushing touchdowns of 40-plus yards in the title game. Ewers led the Longhorns to a 12-2 record and a Big 12 Conference Championship, while Hunter showcased his remarkable two-way talent by recording 100 receiving yards and an interception in a single game, a feat not seen since Miami Hurricane Rashard Smith against the Florida Gators, and Oklahoma Sooner Derek McCoy against the Texas Longhorns, both in 2003.

Athlete Statements

All three players said it was an honor to be featured on the cover of the highly anticipated return of the game.

"EA Sports games are legendary, and to see myself on the cover of College Football 25 is truly surreal," Edwards said. "It’s a huge honor to join past Michigan greats as a cover athlete on an EA Sports college football game and keep the tradition going."

"To represent the burnt orange on the real and virtual gridirons is such an honor," Ewers said. "EA Sports games were the first place I lived out my childhood dream of playing for the Longhorns, so it’s a full-circle moment to now be on the cover of College Football 25."

"I couldn’t be more pumped to be part of College Football 25 and represent my Buffaloes on the cover of a game with so much excitement behind it," Hunter said. "I can’t wait to play and see myself, my teammates, and my school in the game."
