Did Texas A&M make the cover of College Football 26?
After the release of College Football 25 last summer, which was the first installment of the popular college football video game since NCAA Football 14 was released before the 2013-2014 season. After much success, the franchise is back on track and more popular than ever, as College Football 26 just released its cover art ahead of this summer's release. Like the first edition, Texas A&M was barely featured in one of the two covers, which made sense given the other players and teams leading into the 2025 season, led by cornerback/wide receiver Travis Hunter, who was recently selected second overall by the Jacksonville Jaguars in the 2025 NFL Draft. Advertisement For the 26 cover, it's again no surprise the players chosen to don the cover, as standout sophomore Alabama wide receiver Ryan Williams and fellow sophomore Ohio State star pass catcher Jeremiah Smith were the players selected after breakout seasons for both future first-round draft picks. What has become kind of a game for Aggie fans started back up on Tuesday, as Texas A&M was, in fact, featured in the top right corner of the regular cover in the form of a flag, but not included in the Deluxe Edition despite featuring nearly every fanbase. Whether the Aggies are being snubbed on purpose is up for debate. Still, if I had to surmise, Texas A&M's 1-4 finish after starting 7-1 last season likely played a part in not being widely represented, while, outside of senior running back Le'Veon Moss, quarterback Marcel Reed and wide receiver KC Concepcion, the Aggies' 2025 roster is very talented, but lacks star recognition due to last season's late struggles.
