ASU QB Sam Leavitt lands on cover of College Football 26

Leavitt, who transferred to ASU from Michigan State ahead of the 2024 season, made an immediate impact for the Sun Devils, being the starting quarterback through what as a very successful season for the team and flashing his star potential. Now entering his second year in Tempe, he has become the face of the program — and now, part of the face of college football gaming.

The cover also features ASU head coach Kenny Dillingham, who has been at the forefront of Arizona State’s rebuild. Known for his fast-paced offense and passion for the game, Dillingham’s pairing with Leavitt has become a very intriguing storyline in the Big 12 Conference.

College Football 26 continues EA Sports’ return to college football gaming, following the successful relaunch of the franchise with College Football 25. The game features over 100 fully licensed FCU programs with authentic stadiums, uniforms, and rosters.

Leavitt’s spot on the cover places him among the rising stars of the sport and reflects growing national buzz around the Sun Devils as they look to leap into the upcoming season.
