Who do you want to see on the cover of NCAA Football 13? Each year, some of the first game-related info surrounding NCAA Football is of the cover athlete. Last year, fans voted for the NCAA Football 12 cover athlete and it seems logical to expect some sort of fan voting once again given the success of cover votes for NCAA 12, Madden NFL 12 and Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 13.
The Gaming Tailgate asked our Twitter followers and Facebook fans to tell us who they would like to see on the cover of NCAA Football 13 this coming July. Taking their requests, we have formulated a list of potential candidates for the NCAA 13 cover. Continue on to see who we feel are the favorites and vote for your pick, players on the radar and a brief look at players who are on track to grace the cover of NCAA Football in the future.
FAVORITES:
WR Justin Blackmon, Oklahoma State - The 2010 and 2011 Biletnikoff Award winner, Blackmon has been one of the most high profile offensive players in the country during his college career.
QB Robert Griffin III, Baylor - The 2011 Heisman Trophy winner has helped bring Baylor out of the Big XII cellar with a 10-win season in 2011.
RB LaMichael James, Oregon - Arguably the most explosive running back in the country the last three seasons, James has helped the Ducks appear in three consecutive BCS games.
QB Case Keenum, Houston - The Houston QB will leave college football as the NCAA's all-time leader in total passing yards, touchdowns and completions.
QB Andrew Luck, Stanford - Considered the likely top pick in the 2012 NFL Draft, Luck has helped Stanford to consecutive BCS games.
QB Kellen Moore, Boise State - The four-year starter and two-time All-American is the winningest quarterback in NCAA history with a 50-3 record.
RB Trent Richardson, Alabama - In 2011, he accumulated over 2,000 yards of total offense to go with 24 touchdowns as the Crimson Tide won their second BCS National Championship in three seasons.
QB Brandon Weeden, Oklahoma State - The former baseball player has set numerous school passing records at Oklahoma State, surpassing his coach, Mike Gundy.
