Jeremiyah Love has made it official.
In one of the least surpising announcements of the year, the All-American Notre Dame running back and Heisman finalist has declared for the NFL Draft, bypassing his final season of college eligibility.
Love ends his collegiate career as perhaps the top running back in Notre Dame history.
He made the announcement in an Instagram post.

“Those who know me best know I’m very direct, so I am going to get straight to the point and share that I have made the decision to declare for the NFL Draft.
“I know I am prepared for this moment because of the amazing people I have in my life and I want to thank them now. First and foremost, I want to thank God. Without him, none of this would be possible.
“My family, specifically my parents, have been so instrumental in my success, not only on the football field, but in life. They have been patient and loving, while also challenging me each step of the way, pushing me to always be authentically me. They are my why.
“Heading off to college, there are many uncertainties, but I knew Notre Dame was the perfect home for me. When I think about all of the people who have impacted me at Notre Dame, it is endless. I am especially grateful to my coaches for pushing me outside of my comfort zone, while also allowing me to be me. They knew exactly what I needed to do to elevate and made sure to push me to greater heights.
“To my teammates, my brothers for life. Competing together with you on the field was an unforgettable experience. We did some pretty great things! But what I will keep with me forever are the memories we made in the locker room and just hanging out at the Gug.
“Making the decision to attend Notre Dame was easy because of the people. From the amazing football support staff, to my fellow students – I could not have picked a better place for me to grow into the man I am today.
“It is with a wealth of gratitude, I will take the many experiences Notre Dame has given me and apply those lessons learned as I move onto the next level. I look forward to representing my family and Notre Dame in the NFL.
Love Thee,
Jeremiyah Love”
