Father-Son Duo of Shedeur & Deion Sanders Can Make College Football History by Ending 30 Year Drought

With the teaser of the EA Sports College Football ’25 doing rounds on the internet, there have been back-to-back speculations. One of the most prominent discussions revolves around who is going to be featured on the cover. According to journalist Kevin Borba, Coach Prime and his son Shedeur are the top contenders for the game covers. If they end up on the cover together, the duo is on their way to setting new records after 30 years. 

Even though Coach Prime and Colorado have only been able to set a 4-0 record till now, the success of their football season can be measured on the basis of their record viewership, ticket sales, and recruitment drives. Thus, despite having a subpar season on the gridiron, the Buffs’ off-field performance makes them perfect for the cover.

Borba’s vision of Deion Sanders’ chance to feature on the cover

As Borba sits down with his opinion in a YouTube video, he comes up with an interesting fact. According to his prediction, “Dating back to 1994 there has only been one cover where it’s been a player-coach combination, back when it was called Bill Walsh college football. And I think Deion Sanders, Coach Prime and Shedeur Sanders would be the perfect cover for the game this year.” 

The College football video game was first released in 1992 and featured 24 historical teams. For their 1994 edition, it was then Stanford Cardinal football head coach Bill Walsh who got covered along with several Stanford players. It was after the legendary coach that the game was named to parallel the John Madden NFL Football games.  

Sanders’ excitement fuels the buzz

If Prime and his QB make it to the cover, they will be the first ones to do so within the past 30 years. The gaming world along with the football fans had already been running high in enthusiasm after knowing about the much-anticipated return of college football to EA Sports. On top of that, Coach Prime shared the teaser on Twitter with a caption stating on Thursday, February 16,  “WOW, it’s really happening. I got so many darn ideas #CFB25 #GoBuffs #Ad”.

The choice of words in the caption hints at Sanders’ collaboration with the game. Hinting at the possibility that Coach Prime himself will be suggesting the game with some of his ideas, raises speculation of him owning a noteworthy spot in the game. Adding a touch of suspense, there have been mockups and the custom-made jersey only revealed, “Yeah, it’s really happening.” Sanders’ endorsement bolsters his chances to enter into this new experience by featuring on the cover.

From the initial announcement of the return of the college football franchise on February 2, 2021, it has already been three years. In May, last year, EA Sports confirmed its partnership with OneTeam Partners. With new pieces of information being unraveled every passing day, fans eagerly await the game.
