Denard Robinson Wins NCAA Football Cover Vote
March 12, in the year of our Lord 2013 – The
dust has settled and former University of Michigan quarterback
Denard Robinson has emerged as the next NCAA Football cover
athlete. Robinson faced a heated battle against Texas A&M wide
receiver Ryan Swope in the finals, but was able to emerge
victorious.
Once Robinson was announced as a potential cover athlete, the
NCAA record-holder for most career rushing yards for a
quarterback rushed to Twitter, Facebook and other social media
outlets to encourage fans to vote. Denard had a little help from
his friends, getting support from former Michigan wide receiver
Roy Roundtree, Heisman winner Desmond Howard and others.
Michigan proved to be a powerhouse throughout the Cover Vote,
consistently placing amongst the top finishers in every round.
The university utilized its classic traditions, devoted alumni
and strong national recognition to secure its advancement
through the early rounds, and then threw all its support behind
Robinson once he was announced as a potential cover athlete.
Over the duration of the campaign the NCAA Football Cover Vote
secured over 5 million votes from college football fans across
the country. Fans showed their passion throughout the
competition, coming out in support of their favorite schools and
athletes and making this the most successful Cover Vote in
franchise history.
