Featured on the cover of EA Sports College Football 25, U-M running back Donovan Edwards is on the verge of a potentially dominant season.

Yesterday, Michigan running back Donovan Edwards appeared on the latest cover art for EA Sports College Football 25, a video game which is set to make its long awaited return this summer.

Featured front and center on the game’s cover, Edwards found himself in a familiar position as the center of attention. Just a few months earlier, Edwards famously propelled the Wolverines to two early touchdowns in the National Championship game against Washington, perhaps his crowning achievement (so far) in a winged helmet. Before that, Edwards played a pivotal win in Michigan’s victory over Ohio State in 2022 with a 22 carry, 216 yard and two touchdown performance.

With such an established penchant for showing up in big games, it is only fitting that Edwards graced the cover of the fan-favorite video game since Michigan is the reigning National Champion.

Despite these accolades and game-breaking performances, Edwards has managed to not only stay humble but is also focused on imparting a winning mindset to his teammates. And while everyone is familiar with his straight-line speed and catching ability out of the backfield, Edwards’ leadership qualities may be his most valuable offering to the U-M football team after losing so many key contributors to the NFL over the offseason.

“The thing that I want to do is I want to get everybody else going,” Edwards told the media in late March. “It would be a dishonor for me to, you know, continue to push myself but I’m not pushing others. So, my obligation is to make everybody around me great. You know, I do feel like I’ve been doing that, but everybody has a lot more to do, especially myself.”
