A leaked image of a potential cover for the next edition of EA Sports College Football included some high-profile Ohio State figures.

After the long-awaited return of EA Sports' College Football in July 2024, the series is set to return again in 2026 for the next edition of the game. Per a report from On3 on Wednesday, two Buckeyes — and coach Ryan Day — will be involved with the cover of the game.
