Film Don't Lie | Jeremiyah Love
Notre Dame already has an impressive group of skill talent committed in this class. Adding a dynamic athletic like Jeremiyah Love almost feels unfair, but the Irish need to keep stacking up playmakers.
He fits the bill.
Love has been timed running a sub 4.4 40 yard dash and that speed shows up on film. This is a massive get for the Notre Dame coaching staff.
Height: 6’1”
Weight: 195
Projected Position: Running back/wide receiver
ISD Grade: 94 (4-star)
National Average Grade: 95.0 (4-star)
What he does best:
The main thing that separates him from most other prospects (and defenders) is elite speed. His acceleration is exceptional.
His feet are really good too. His ability to cut and make defenders miss multiple times within the same play is what really sold me with him as a top prospect.
It’s not always going to be blocked up perfectly with a lane to take it to the house. He has the ability to make a defender miss at the second or third level and then turn it into a big play.
He can be a weapon as a receiver too. Linebackers aren’t going to be able to run with him and it may turn out that receiver ends up being an option at Notre Dame.
What he needs to improve:
He needs to get stronger and finish runs through contact. That’s one reason why I don’t really see Deebo Samuel when watching him because Deebo is much more physical.
If he’s going to play some wide receiver, then he’s going to need some time to develop as a route runner.
What’s his ceiling?
There’s some areas of his game that I want to see him develop before he can ascend to an every down weapon, but there is no question that he has the potential to be an explosive option out of the backfield or as a receiver.
I can’t help but think of former Notre Dame Swiss Army knife CJ Prosise when watching him. It took some time for Prosise to find the right role. I don’t think it will take as long for Love and he could develop into a star for the Irish.
