EA Sports College Football Cover Reveal: Penn State Gets a Starring Role

Turns out the leaked photos were right. EA Sports has released images of its College Football 26 game covers, one of which looks quite familiar to the photos that trickled out of the shoot earlier this spring. And Penn State football plays a prominent role on one of those covers.

Penn State coach James Franklin and running back Nicholas Singleton are showcased on the deluxe edition of the popular video game, which EA Sports revived last year to great fanfare. Singleton and Franklin appear up front on the game cover, with Singleton flanking Ohio State receiver Jeremiah Smith and Franklin in front of Buckeyes head coach Ryan Day.

Notre Dame's Marcus Freeman, Georgia's Kirby Smart and Oregon's Dan Lanning are among the coaches blended into the cover with the game's top players, including Alabama's Ryan Williams and Notre Dame's Jeremiyah Love. College football fans also will spot Tim Tebow and Reggie Bush in feature spots.

Singleton posted the cover image on Instagram, saying, "From Happy Valley to the cover!! Let's make history!!"
