TEMPE – Activate the Valley has been the calling card for Arizona State football head coach Kenny Dillingham since he arrived in Tempe over two years ago. ASU was enduring a horrendous stretch of years, piling up three wins in the season with no light at the end of the tunnel. However, Dillingham’s persistence elevated the program to new heights. The Sun Devils won 11 games, the first time with double-digit wins since 2014, and earned a bid into the College Football Playoff.

That hard work from Dillingham and his star redshirt sophomore quarterback Sam Leavitt earned them the opportunity to be a part of EA Sports College Football 26 cover for the deluxe edition.

The two Sun Devils are just one of the many top programs gracing the video game cover. The Deluxe edition features other coaches and mascots, while including nine players.

ASU’s success in 2024 has skyrocketed the program to elite caliber. The honor of being alongside championship-level coaches like Ryan Day and Kirby Smart highlights the expectations that follow the club heading into next season. Regardless, the Sun Devils get loved by EA by being on the cover, and this is a sign of more things to come.
