Reactions to Texas' Quinn Ewers on EA CFB 25 cover: 'July 19, please come quicker'

The last time that an EA College Football game was released was back with NCAA Football 14. Therefore, it's not hyperbole to say EA Sports' upcoming College Football 25 may be one of the most anticipated sports games of all time.

And who are the three athletes that will grace the cover? Michigan running back Donovan Edwards, Colorado defensive back Travis Hunter and, of course, Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers. The three were already featured on the deluxe cover, but they were joined by a few other familiar jerseys on that version.

With the official release date set for July 19, the cover art was released Thursday along with a trailer featuring Ewers wearing the burnt orange.

Ewers made the decision to return to Texas after leading the Longhorns to a 12-2 season and their first College Football Playoff appearance. Now with his team entering the SEC, he has a chance to compete for a Heisman Trophy, raise his NFL draft stock and cement the Longhorns as a powerhouse in their new conference.

Longhorns fans were ecstatic over the promotion of their quarterback, while college football enthusiasts also showed excitement over the imminent return. Here are some reactions to the news.
