The highly-anticipated release of EA Sports’ new College Football 25 video game is set to take place in about a month and Travis Hunter Jr. will be on the cover. Colorado’s two-way superstar is featured alongside Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers and Michigan running back Donovan Edwars.
He took fans behind the scenes of their shoot in a new video posted to his YouTube channel.
Hunter provided more than 30 minutes of BTS footage from the trip to the Cotton Bowl in Dallas. It includes an inside look at all of the different angles and poses that didn’t make the cover, as well as promotional clips for the game.
Around thee 17:45-mark in the video, Hunter takes a shot at Tom Brady’s infamous ‘Deflategate.’
Ewers tossed him a football that was not fully inflated, which led him to joke that it’s a “Tom Brady ball.”
Brady served a four-game suspension in 2016 after the NFL found that he was aware that the New England Patriots were illegally deflating game balls to his preference. The greatest quarterback of all-time admitted that he did it during a recent roast on Netflix.
Hunter was only 12 years old at the time of the scandal. It is not something that will soon be forgotten!
As for College Football 25, the cover shoot also featured about 100 actors dressed in the uniform of various schools around the country alongside Hunter, Ewers and Edwards. There were mixed reactions about the official cover, but the first official gameplay trailer dropped on Friday and ramped the hype right back up!
We don’t know what any of the athletes got paid to be on the cover, but they made history with the most-anticipated video game in recent history. 11 years in the making, it will drop on July 19!
