The wait has been far too long.

It's 2023, and we're all stuck playing NCAA Football 14 with former Michigan Wolverines quarterback Denard Robinson on the cover. Some good news and some bad news has emerged, though.

The good news is that EA Sports is bringing back college football video games, but the bad news is that the original release date of summer 2023 has been pushed back a to 2024.

News also emerged earlier this week that, in the age of Name, Image and Likeness, players are allowed to opt in to actually be played as themselves in the game instead of, in Robinson's case for example, "QB #16."

The million-dollar question on everyone's mind, though: who will grace the cover of the resurrected NCAA Football game?

Ole Miss Rebels football tweeted out a photo earlier this week with their personal favorite in running back Quinshon Judkins, and why not?

If everything remains as scheduled, by the time the game is released, Judkins will be about to start his junior season and current college football stars like USC's Caleb Williams and Ohio State's Marvin Harrison Jr. will likely have already heard their names called in the 2024 NFL Draft.

Judkins was one of the best running backs in the country as a true freshman, rushing for 1,565 yards and 16 touchdowns, which both set new Rebels' program records.

If the Pike Road, Ala., native can replicate his production from his freshman year in his second season in Oxford, and the Rebels can make a little noise on the national circuit, Judkins might be one of the top names in all of college football ahead of the 2024 season.
