The wait is over.
The cover of the new College Football ’26 video game by EA Sports is out, and you are going to love one of the players on the cover. Of course, you can probably guess which player would don the cover if an Ohio State player was given that chance, and it is predictably, star wide receiver Jeremiah Smith.
He’s not alone on the cover though, he is joined by another superstar sophomore receiver, Alabama’s Ryan Williams. Last year, the two were arguably the best two freshman playmakers on offense in the country, and now they are joined forever on the cover of the wildly popular video game franchise.
For Smith, it’s yet more notoriety after taking the college football world by storm last season. Somehow, he didn’t win the Biletnikoff Award that goes to the best receiver in the game (c’mon voters), but he put up incredible numbers, especially for a freshman. All told, Smith hauled in 76 catches for 1,315 yards (17.3 ypc) and 15 touchdowns to go along with countless jaw-dropping moments. All the talented youngster did was obliterate the freshman receiving records at Ohio State, a place where receivers grow on Buckeye trees.
The release date for College Football 26 is set for July 10, and we know you’ll be chomping at the bit to try and win back-to-back College Football Playoff national championships virtually as soon as you can.
