With summer approaching, EA Sports is set to delight college football fans with a new video game release.
A burning question leading up to the release in July was which athletes would grace the covers. On Tuesday, fans got their answer.
Alabama’s rising sophomore star Ryan Williams, originally from Mobile, is prominently featured on the regular edition alongside standout wide receiver Jeremiah Asmith.

βAs someone who’s grown up playing EA Sports games, being on the cover of College Football 26 feels like a dream,β Williams expressed. βSeeing myself on the cover of College Football 25 last year was incredible. Now, it’s just surreal to represent Alabama and share this experience with fans who have enjoyed these games for so long.β
He’s also been promoting the game on his social media accounts.
