Curt Cignetti Headlines College Football 27 Cover — Herbstreit Leaves Ea Sports Game
EA Sports unveiled the College Football 27 cover athletes, and Curt Cignetti heads the Deluxe Edition as herbstreit leaves ea sports game. The reveal comes ahead of the game’s full unveiling on June 4 and points to a release next month.
Cignetti Leads Deluxe Edition
Cignetti is front and center on the Deluxe Edition after leading Indiana to the national title in his second year as Hoosiers head coach. The Deluxe cover also includes Texas edge rusher Colin Simmons, USC quarterback Jayden Maiava and Notre Dame cornerback Leonard Moore.
That group gives the game a broader footprint than the standard version. It ties a coach coming off a title run to players from Indiana, Texas, USC and Notre Dame on the same release.
Toney, Moore, Lacy Lead Standard Cover
The standard cover features Miami sophomore receiver Malachi Toney, Oregon quarterback Dante Moore and Ole Miss running back Kewan Lacy. Toney caught 109 passes last season and broke Miami’s single-season receptions record as a 17-year-old freshman.
Lacy rushed for 24 touchdowns last season, while Moore elected to return to Oregon after pondering a leap to the NFL. EA Sports framed the selection as part of a modern college football era, with the cover athletes chosen to reflect players moving across programs and returning to them rather than just the usual star-power snapshot.
June 4 Reveal Window
The cover announcement arrives before the full reveal on June 4, when more details on College Football 27 are set to come into view. Last year’s game featured Ohio State’s Jeremiah Smith and Alabama’s Ryan Williams on the standard cover, so this edition shifts the spotlight to a different mix of young stars and a head coach at the center of the Deluxe Edition.
For readers tracking the game itself, the practical takeaway is simple: the cover cast is set, the full reveal is next, and College Football 27 is scheduled for next month. The Deluxe Edition leans on Cignetti’s title run, while the standard version puts Toney, Moore and Lacy on the front of the release.
