Michigan RB Donovan Edwards set to grace cover of 'EA Sports College Football 25'
Michigan Wolverines running back Donovan Edwards is front and center on the leaked deluxe edition cover of EA Sports College Football 25, which also features Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers, Colorado wide receiver/defensive back Travis Hunter in row one. Also featured are Georgia quarterback Carson Beck, Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe and Ohio State running back Quinshon Judkins.
Edwards appearing on a cover of the game is poetic given the last time EA released a game, “NCAA Football 14,” it featured Michigan quarterback Denard Robinson. Edwards, who is expected to be the lead back for U-M this season, is coming off a six-carry, 104-yard performance with a pair of touchdowns in the College Football Playoff National Championship win over Washington.
The first glimpse of the cover for the deluxe edition cover came with the PlayStation store online Friday morning.
“Experience explosive gameplay variety across 134 FBS schools and immerse yourself in the iconic atmospheres of college football as you chase college greatness,” the PS store listing said.
No other official word on the release or details have been revealed.
New features in the game are expected to involve NIL and the transfer portal, the College Football Playoff and much more. One of the game’s iconic features, Dynasty Mode, is also expected to return where you can start at a small school and build a program into a juggernaut, or jump right into continuing to build the Michigan dynasty.
The EA Sports website currently reads: “Hello, college football fans! While Michigan fans may still be reveling in their championship win, just remember – if the confetti didn’t rain down on your team in January, you’ll soon be able to lead your school to glory when EA SPORTS™ College Football 25 launches this summer. Yeah, it’s really happening!
“We’re just as excited as you are for EA SPORTS™ College Football, and while we recognize all of you are eager for more, know that we will be back with a full reveal in May as we gear up for this summer’s launch.”
It appears the marketing cycle is starting to ramp up with a full reveal coming this month. We will have more on Edwards’ involvement and how Michigan factors into the game as more details become available.
