While this isn’t the artwork for the standard edition, fans will certainly debate the players gracing the cover. Edwards taking center stage will have some confounded, as he is coming off a disappointing season with just 119 carries, 497 rushing yards, and five touchdowns.
However, the Wolverines are fresh off a national championship victory, so it’s only right they are represented in the premier spot.
Edwards flashed his brilliance in 2022, stepping up when starter Blake Corum was injured. He generated 991 yards and seven TDs on the ground, averaging 7.1 yards per carry, adding 200 receiving yards and two scores for good measure.
The talent is there for him to be an explosive juggernaut for the Wolverines with Corum off to the NFL, but having an inexperienced QB behind an entirely new offensive line won’t help matters.
The game is set to release in summer 2024, with Kirk Herbstreit announcing an expected date in July on the Pat McAfee Show.
Fans have been starved of college football games since NCAA Football 14, which, coincidentally, had Michigan QB Denard Robinson as the cover athlete.
Standard Edition Cover Art Leaked
While the Deluxe Edition of EA Sports College Football 25 will be more expensive, it’s worth the price of admission solely on the cover art.

Sure, Hunter brings the excitement we all feel for the game, but Ewers instantly brings it down, and Edwards is just happy to be there. Does cover art matter that much? Once you get past the loading screen, you won’t even see it. Yet, it’s fair to say fans expected much more for a game that’s been in their dreams for 12 years now.
