Top-100 recruit Jeremiyah Love commits to Notre Dame

The nation’s top uncommitted running back has made up his mind.

St. Louis (Mo.) Christian Brothers College four-star running back Jeremiyah Love announced his commitment Saturday to Notre Dame.

Love is the No. 62 overall recruit and No. 5 running back in the 2023 cycle, according to the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.

He currently has an On3 NIL Valuation of $141k. The On3 NIL Valuation is an index that looks to set the standard market value for both high school and college-level athletes. The NIL valuation does not act as a tracker of the value of NIL deals an athlete has completed to date. It rather signifies an athlete’s value at a certain moment in time.

Love is the third running back commit in the 2023 Fighting Irish recruiting class, joining Derby (Kan.) four-star running back Dylan Edwards and Lake Stevens (Wash.) four-star running back Jayden Limar. The class ranks among the top five in the country, according to the 2023 On3 Consensus Team Recruiting Ranking.

Jeremiyah Love Scouting Summary

One of the most explosive and dynamic backs in the 2023 cycle. Has a solid build for the position at 5-foot-11, 188 pounds. Ran 10.76 in the 100 meters and jumped a 22’01” long jump as a sophomore in 2021. Backed that up on the camp circuit in the spring prior to his senior year with an electronically-timed 4.48 second 40-yard dash to go with a 35-inch vertical as well as a 9’11” broad jump. The speed and athleticism transfers over to the field on Friday nights. Led his team to a state championship as a junior and can score any time he touches the ball. Has true home run speed. Can make defenders whiff in a phone booth with his ability to change direction, as well. Possesses loose hips and plays with excellent pad level when working between the tackles. Rushed for 996 yards and 14 touchdowns on just 95 rushes as a junior. Efficient and hits big plays but has not carried the load of some of his highly-rated peers. Has the athleticism to play other spots, like defensive back but the big-play ability at running back points to one of the higher ceilings at the position among backs in the 2023 cycle.
