Deluxe-cover defensive end Colin Simmons represents Texas in EA Sports College Football 27.
Simmons is an edge rusher for the Texas Longhorns and was selected for the game’s Deluxe Edition cover alongside Notre Dame cornerback Leonard Moore and USC quarterback Jayden Maiava. EA highlighted Simmons as one of the sport’s standout defensive players, emphasizing his disruptive production in the Texas front.
The position description can vary slightly between sources: Simmons is commonly called a defensive end or edge rusher, but both labels refer to the same Texas defender featured here. The school is the key identification, not the terminology used for his alignment.
Fans may confuse him with Texas quarterback Arch Manning because both are associated with the Longhorns, but Manning is not the Deluxe-cover defender in this question. Simmons is the Texas representative, while Manning was not among the named Deluxe Edition athletes.
