The PlayStation Store leaked EA Sports' newest title, and Tennessee football did not make the cover of the new game. College Football 25 is set to come out this summer, and the Deluxe Edition's cover has been shared far and wide across college football social media, but the Vols are missing. 

Tennessee has been confirmed to be in the new college football video game, and fans are ecstatic to see the fan-favorite game return after over a decade. The deluxe edition cover features Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers, Michigan running back Donovan Edwards, and Colorado athlete Travis Hunter. 

A few other players are also featured in the background, along with numerous teams wearing helmets, jerseys, and flags. 

If you look throughout the cover, you can find other SEC programs like Alabama, Georgia, Florida, and Auburn featured on the cover. There's also an Iowa flag in the background, a team Tennessee beat 35-0 to end the 2023 season. 

Of course, it's impossible to feature every team, but it is a bit disappointing to see Tennessee miss out on the most-anticipated sports game of the decade. This is just the deluxe cover, and the base version of the game will have a different cover, as confirmed by EA Sports on Friday.

We will see that cover on Thursday, May 16, where Tennessee could be featured, although it would make more sense if one player was featured on the main cover of the game. Do you think a Tennessee player, or even a helmet or flag, should or will be on the cover of the new college football video game?
