Williams and Smith land on the EA SPORTS College Football 26 covers after stellar starts to their careers last season. Williams, a dynamic playmaker, set freshman records at Alabama, dazzling fans with his speed and highlight-reel catches. Smith, a cornerstone of Ohio State’s offense, emerged as one of the nation’s top receivers, showcasing elite route-running and clutch performances en route to the Buckeyes capturing the National Championship. Accomplished coaches like Ohio State’s Ryan Day, Notre Dame’s Marcus Freeman, and Georgia’s Kirby Smart are featured on the Deluxe Edition cover, alongside iconic mascots and players such as Clemson QB Cade Klubnik, Notre Dame RB Jeremiyah Love, and Penn State RB Nick Singleton, embodying the culture of the sport. Past EA SPORTS cover stars Reggie Bush, Tim Tebow, and Denard Robinson also appear, paying tribute to college football’s rich history.
“As a lifelong fan of EA SPORTS games, being on the cover of College Football 26 is a dream come true,” said Williams. “It was incredible to see myself in College Football 25 last year, and now to represent Alabama and share this moment with fans who’ve played EA SPORTS games for years is unreal.”
“Being on the cover of EA SPORTS College Football 26 is a tremendous privilege, and I’m proud to represent Ohio State alongside Coach Day while carrying the Buckeye legacy forward, celebrating the passion of our fans and the tradition of this incredible program,” said Smith.
