Fans Go Wild Over Ryan Day’s Debut in EA Sports College Football 26

Fans are voicing their opinions after seeing EA Sports' first stock photo of Ohio State head coach Ryan Day in the upcoming EA Sports College Football 26 game. While some were enthusiastic about the inclusion of real coaches—an upgrade from previous fictional representations—many expressed their disbelief regarding Day's portrayal. Social media reactions varied, with reactions such as, "Damn, they did Ryan dirty with this," and "Who the hell is coaching Ohio State?" among others. Some even humorously suggested alternate identities, with quips like, "Is this Dyan Ray?" or "That’s Brian Night, Ryan Day’s twin." In addition to Day, notable coaches like Penn State's James Franklin, Georgia's Kirby Smart, and Alabama wide receiver Ryan Williams appear on various covers, highlighting the game's shift towards realism.
