On an ordinary Friday in May, college football enthusiasts felt the excitement of Christmas as EA Sports revealed the deluxe edition cover of College Football 25, creating a buzz among fans.
The cover features prominent players such as Travis Hunter from Colorado, Quinn Ewers from Texas, Jalen Mirloe from Alabama, and Carson Beck from Georgia, among others, exciting many fans. However, the conversation didn’t stop with who made the cover; there’s significant chatter about who didn’t.
Many fans and even ESPN’s Kirk Herbstreit, who appears in the game, had anticipated Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders to grace the cover. As the son of Colorado head coach Deion Sanders, Shedeur is considered one of the most popular and polarizing figures in college football and holds the highest On3 NIL Valuation among college athletes. The absence of Sanders from the cover has surprised and disappointed many, especially Colorado fans and others who expected to see him featured.

The possibility of alternate covers exists, and fans are holding out hope that Sanders might appear on one of them. If not, his omission would remain a stunning decision by EA Sports.
