Williams not only set freshman records for the Alabama Crimson Tide but has also been hailed as a dynamic playmaker. Smith, meanwhile, emerged as one of the nation’s top receivers for the Ohio State Buckeyes as they captured the National Championship.
EA Sports College Football saw its rebirth last year, with the release of the first game in the franchise since NCAA Football 14 in 2013.

Alabama’s Ryan Williams and Ohio State’s Jeremiah Smith are the cover athletes for EA Sports College Football 26.
The electric sophomore wide receivers were picked for the second edition of the franchise’s reboot, and it is not hard to see why.
Williams and Smith were chosen for the EA Sports College Football 26 standard cover due to their performances last season.
Last season, Williams caught 48 passes for 865 yards and eight touchdowns. The eight touchdown receptions marked the second-most in the SEC and tied for the second-most among freshman wide receivers in Division 1.
Jeremiah Smith had a record-breaking season in 2024, accumulating 1,315 receiving yards. He surpassed multiple existing Ohio State freshman receiving records.
Both players will most certainly be two of the top wideouts that all NFL teams will be clamoring to have once they become draft-eligible.
