Travis Hunter was the Colorado two-way star who shared the EA Sports College Football 25 cover before College Football 27. He appeared alongside Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers and Michigan running back Donovan Edwards in the featured cover artwork.
Hunter was an especially fitting choice because he played both cornerback and wide receiver for Colorado, making him one of the most recognizable players in the college game. His unusual two-way role distinguished him from the other headline athletes associated with the cover, who were primarily known for one position.
A common mix-up is to name Ewers or Edwards: both were also cover athletes, but neither was the Colorado player described in the question. The cover helped signal the return of EA’s college-football series after a long hiatus following the earlier NCAA Football games. College Football 25 was released in 2024, while College Football 27 followed as a later installment.
