Now, according to a report from On3’s Pete Nakos, he will be an EA Sports College Football 26 cover athlete.

Alongside Michigan Wolverines quarterback Bryce Underwood, Florida Gators quarterback DJ Lagway, LSU Tigers quarterback Garrett Nussmeier, Notre Dame Fighting Irish running back Jeremiyah Love, Ohio State Buckeyes wide receiver Jeremiah Smith, Alabama Crimson Tide wide receiver Ryan Williams, Ohio State Buckeyes safety Caleb Downs, and Arizona State Sun Devils quarterback Sam Leavitt, Stewart was at the Rose Bowl in Los Angeles, California for a photo shoot with EA.

Coaches James Franklin (Penn State Nittany Lions), Kirby Smart (Georgia Bulldogs), Ryan Day (Ohio State Buckeyes), Lane Kiffin (Ole Miss Rebels), Dan Lanning (Oregon Ducks), and Kenny Dillingham (Arizona State Sun Devils) also were at the Rose Bowl.

An early look at the game’s deluxe edition cover showed Stewart and the others in the Rose Bowl stands.

Other covers and athletes may be involved in the game’s cover and further branding. Online rumors also have said that EA could utilize South Carolina quarterback LaNorris Sellers in the game’s promotion. For now, Sellers’ involvement is unconfirmed.
