Deion Sanders could be the new EA Sports face for college football

Video game giant EA Sports has dropped hints that their new cover for the NCAA Football 2024 could be Deion Sanders. Coach Prime has already become a popular face and a household name for football fans nationwide. According to a report by Blue Bloods Bias, “@EASPORTSCollege went from following 1 account to following 7 accounts after dropping their trailer.”

The interesting part is that Deion Sanders is the only one among these followings who is a current college football player or coach. This unique position of Deion Sanders has left many fans speculating that the Colorado Buffaloes HC could be the new cover for EA Sports. After all, Coach Prime, in his debut season, brought the whole media and attention to a program that usually doesn’t get the spotlight.

Coach Prime being the only college football entity isn’t the only hint that is keeping him on top of the game. Recently, he posted on his Instagram a fascinating “paid partnership” post with the caption, “WOW, it’s really happening. I got so many darn ideas.” He also tagged EA Sports College and EA Sports Insider on their first trailer.

If this one doesn’t ring the bells of Deion Sanders potentially becoming the new face of EA Sports, not many other hints might help. “The Top CFB TV Market is almost always in the South.” But Coach Prime changed the flow. With all the hype surrounding him and Colorado, with Denver once being the No. 1 College Football viewing market under Deion Sanders’ leadership, EA might be making a wise choice if they feature him on the cover.
