EA Sports Has Awesome Reaction To 'College Football 25' Cover Leaking

EA Sports is taking the cover of "College Football 25" leaking in stride.

Social media was set on fire Friday when the cover for the first college football game in 11 years leaked on the PlayStation Store.

It was known a full review was coming at some point in May, but the cover appearing out of thin air definitely didn't seem planned or coordinated at all.

EA Sports confirmed it was a leak late Friday afternoon, and did it with a nice little spin.

"Welp, we were surprised too… see both covers next Thursday," the video game giant tweeted with a GIF of Matthew McConaughey looking frustrated during a Texas game.

Well played, EA Sports. Well played, indeed.

The tweet from EA Sports also had people VERY fired up. It's hard to blame anyone who is incredibly excited - including myself. It's been 11 years since a new game dropped. Lean into the excitement. It's a good thing. Don't resist it.

The leaked cover, which EA Sports has now confirmed as being real, features Quinn Ewers, Donovan Edwards, Jalen Milroe, Carson Beck, Travis Hunter and Quinshon Judkins.

So, who will be featured on the second cover? Shedeur Sanders is the easiest pick given the level of fame he has, but I'm still holding out hope EA Sports does the right thing and throws Nick Saban on it.

Saban left the sports as the greatest coach ever and seven national title rings. Putting him on the cover of the first college football video game in more than a decade would be epic.

Who do you want to see on the second cover? Let me know at David.Hookstead@outkick.com.
