1UP reports that while an official announcement has yet to be made later today, according to the Idaho Statesman newspaper, graduating Boise State Broncos quarterback Jared Zabranksy will be gracing the cover of Electronic Arts' NCAA Football 08.

"It's extremely big for us as an athletic department," Brad Larrondo told the Statesman. Larrondo is the Broncos' senior assistant athletic director for promotions and marketing. "It crosses generations by touching kids and adults ... It's an incredible marketing opportunity." Zabransky is the first-ever non-BCS conference player to appear on the cover for NCAA Football.

Zabransky is coming off of a fairy-tale 13-0 season for the Broncos. He was also instrumental in Boise State's historical win over the Oklahoma Sooners in the Fiesta Bowl, where he passed for three touchdowns and garnered MVP honors.

NCAA Football 08 is slated for a July release.
