Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian told reporters on Monday that both he and starting quarterback Arch Manning opted out of the photo shoot for the cover of College Football 26 during the Rose Bowl.

Texas fans may have wondered why leaked pictures from the purported EA Sports College Football 26 cover photoshoot featured no Longhorns representation. Steve Sarkisian claimed that it was by choice.

Steve Sarkisian and Arch Manning won't be on the College Football 26 cover because, according to the coach, they weren't even at the shoot.
