While the release is surely coming in summer, it hasn’t been disclosed yet but final announcements are expected in May. But the main question, however, is who will be the cover of the critically acclaimed EA Sports College Football video game? If you’re a Buffs fan or more specifically, a Prime fan, this news will potentially intrigue you more than anyone else.

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.

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.
