Last season, when College Football 25 returned following an 11-year hiatus, EA Sports added generic coaches to the game with random names. Prior, dating back to NCAA Football 14 and before, there were coach and player likenesses in the game -- without their names.

The game releases on July 10, and fans will be able to play with their favorite Maryland players and use real-life coaches like Locksley.
