We’re looking forward to EA Sports’ re-release of their widely popular college football video game every day, with news flying off the shelves faster than the nation can react. After a plethora of news to start the spring, one thing is glaringly absent from the news: Who is on the cover?
Let’s go around the nation and take a look at a potential candidate from every roster at the FBS level.
NCAA Football Video Game Cover Athlete Options
We’ll go in alphabetical order here at the top, but below each team will be sorted by conference. With any list of this magnitude, limited analysis will be given, but let it be known these have been researched and postulated with much scrutiny. Also, we’re going with current-year players, not historic players or even last year’s players.
