EA Sports on Tuesday revealed College Football 27, and the 18-year-old earned a spot on the cover of the standard edition after a record-setting year with the Hurricanes.

Toney set Miami’s single-season receptions record with 109 catches for more than 1,200 yards and emerged as one of the nation’s top young playmakers during his freshman campaign.

Toney, who became the first Hurricanes player to crack the cover of the College Football video game franchise, is joined by Oregon quarterback Dante Moore and Ole Miss running back Kewan Lacy.

Moore threw for more than 3,500 yards and 30 touchdowns last season, while Lacy rushed for more than 1,500 yards and 24 touchdowns in his first year with the Rebels.

“Having this opportunity after only my freshman year means everything to me,” Toney told EA Sports. “I’m incredibly grateful for the support of the Miami community, and this honor of knowing EA believes in what I’m capable of deepens my drive to show up for the program and the fans who have believed in me from day one.”

Toney now looks to build on his breakout campaign as Miami turns the page with Duke transfer quarterback Darian Mensah taking over under center.

More College Football 27 details will be shared on Thursday on the @EAMaddenNFL YouTube channel.
