Overview:
Jeremiyah Love is a junior running back from Notre Dame who concluded a stellar three-year career as one of the most decorated players in Fighting Irish history. A two-year starter who contributed immediately as a freshman, Love finished his career with over 2,000 rushing yards and 36 career touchdowns. His junior campaign was historic; he tied the single-season touchdown record (21), matching a mark previously set by Jerome Bettis. Love achieved this production while sharing the backfield with another high-level NFL prospect, Jadarian Price, making his statistical output even more impressive.
Love is a rare physical specimen. At 240 pounds, he blends the power of a traditional "bell-cow" back with the elusiveness of a much smaller athlete. His balance is elite; he routinely turns plays that should result in a 2- or 3-yard gain into 6- or 7-yard power runs. When he reaches the second level, he possesses the home-run speed to pull away from defensive backs, making him a threat to score from anywhere on the field.
While Love was not asked to do a heavy amount of work in the passing game at Notre Dame, he showed capable hands when targeted—highlighted by a memorable touchdown grab against Texas A&M. To maximize his value in the NFL, he will need to continue evolving as a route runner and become a more polished pass protector.
