Hopefully, those blisters on the thumbs have healed because EA Sports is back for another version of their college football game. But this time it has a little Oregon flair to it.
Oregon Ducks quarterback Dante Moore will be on the cover of College Football 27, along with Ole Miss running back Kewan Lacy and Miami receiver Malachi Toney. This will be the first time an Oregon Duck player has been on the cover of a college video game since Joey Harrington was on the 2002 game.
“Being on the cover of EA SPORTS College Football 27 is an absolute privilege after growing up a fan of the game,” said Moore in an Electronic Arts press release. “Coach Lanning and The Duck were on last year’s Deluxe Edition, and now to carry that legacy forward and represent Oregon myself makes me really proud.”
Moore is an obvious choice to grace the cover since he is one of the top players in the game today. He’s a senior quarterback who is expected to compete for a Heisman trophy, and his team is a heavy favorite to contend for the national championship this season.
There is another edition to the game, a deluxe edition, that will have a completely different cover. That game’s cover will have Texas linebacker Colin Simmons, Notre Dame cornerback Leonard Moore, alongside USC quarterback Jayden Maiava, Indiana coach Curt Cignetti, and several beloved mascots and iconic gameday gear, celebrating the variety of successful collegiate programs. Whether or not The Duck, the game’s most famous mascot, will be on this cover still remains to be seen.
More details on the game itself will be shared on EA Sports’ various social media platforms on June 4.
