Orakpo Featured on Cover of NCAA Football 10 Game

Former Texas defensive end Brian Orakpo is one of four players featured on the cover of NCAA Football 10.

EA Sports put a different player on each version of the game (PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, PSP, XBox360) and selected players who helped "shape the competitive landscape of college football in 2008".

The state of Texas was well-represented with this year's cover boys. Texas Tech receiver Michael Crabtree appears on the XBox 360 version and Utah quarterback Brian Johnson, a native of Baytown, appears on the PlayStation 3 version. Orakpo is featured on the PlayStation 2 cover, while USC quarterback Mark Sanchez graces the PSP game.

Orakpo, who is expected to be selected early in the first round of the NFL draft this weekend, is the second Longhorn to appear on the game's cover. Ricky Williams was featured on NCAA Football 2000 after his Heisman Trophy season.
