wrestlinginc.comEA Sports announced the cover athletes for College Football 27 on June 2, 2026. Kewan Lacy, Malachi Toney, and Dante Moore appear on the standard edition cover. The game releases July 9. Lacy rushed for 1,567 yards and 24 touchdowns for Ole Miss in 2025.
Those totals ranked third nationally. Toney recorded 109 receptions as a true freshman at Miami, the highest total in FBS, and helped the Hurricanes reach the College Football Playoff championship game. Moore led Oregon to a 13-2 season and declined a first-round NFL draft selection to return for his junior year.
Indiana coach Curt Cignetti, USC quarterback Jayden Maiava, Texas pass rusher Colin Simmons, and Notre Dame cornerback Leonard Moore appear on the deluxe edition cover. Cignetti guided Indiana to a 16-0 national championship season in 2025. EA Sports rebooted its college football franchise in 2024 after an 11-year hiatus.
U.S. Travis Hunter, Quinn Ewers, and Donovan Edwards featured on that cover. Jeremiah Smith and Ryan Williams appeared on the College Football 26 cover.
College Football 26 was the first title to include a roster of real college coaches, with seven head coaches on its deluxe edition including Notre Dame's Marcus Freeman, Arizona State's Kenny Dillingham, and Oregon's Dan Lanning. "I would play this game for hours with my family growing up, so now being on the cover of EA Sports College Football 27 representing Ole Miss feels surreal," Lacy said in a statement.
" "Being on the cover of EA Sports College Football 27 is an absolute privilege after growing up a fan of the game," Moore said.
EA Sports will hold a full reveal on Thursday, June 4, 2026 at 8 PM ET.
