Jeremiyah Love<\/a> was a coveted recruit out of Christian Brothers College in St. Louis as part of the 2023 recruiting class. He ultimately chose the Fighting Irish after taking additional official visits to Alabama<\/a>, Michigan<\/a> and Texas A&M<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Love was a decorated track athlete who won the Missouri Class 5 state title in the 100-meter dash with a time of 10.76 seconds. His football team won back-to-back state championships before he enrolled at Notre Dame.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As a true freshman, he backed up Audric Estime<\/a> and contributed nearly 500 all-purpose yards, including 42 kick return yards. In his sophomore season, he earned the role of feature back within Notre Dame’s<\/a> offense. The Missouri native accounted for 1,125 rushing yards, 237 receiving yards and 19 total touchdowns as a sophomore while leading the program to its third College Football<\/a> playoff berth.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Love is hoping to parlay a successful junior season into a first-round draft selection.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Love, like Etienne, is capable of contributing on all three downs. He has an upright running style with the explosiveness to go the distance upon hitting daylight. Etienne was a high-volume contributor for the Tigers during their championship runs. He had 686 carries over the course of four years at Clemson<\/a>. Love should not come close to touching that figure.\u00a0<\/p>\n
