Throughout the month of March, fans logged on to the EA SPORTS NCAA Football Facebook page to vote for one of four standouts from the 2010 college football season - Auburn University defensive lineman, Nick Fairley, University of Alabama running back, Mark Ingram, University of Oklahoma running back, DeMarco Murray, and University of Washington quarterback, Jake Locker. More than 140,000 votes were cast, and in the end, Mark Ingram became the first fan-voted cover athlete in NCAA Football franchise history.

Following his outstanding 2009 season, Ingram captured college football's two biggest prizes: the Heisman Trophy and the National Championship. During a decorated career at Alabama, Ingram rushed for more than 3,000 yards and 42 touchdowns, including 17 touchdowns and more than 1,600 yards during his Heisman Trophy-winning sophomore season. In Alabama's 37-21 victory over Texas in the 2010 BCS National Championship Game, Ingram capped his sophomore season by scoring two touchdowns and rushing for 116 yards on 22 carries, being named the Offensive MVP.
