Jeremiyah Love ended his Notre Dame career as one of the best Fighting Irish running backs in program history.
He’s now hoping for an equally impressive outing at the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis. And if his 40-meter dash times are any indication, he won’t have any trouble solidifying himself as an early selection.
As you can see below, Love ran an impressive 4.37 on his first attempt, which should give him plenty of high marks in scouts’ eyes:

Love certainly won’t have to wait long to hear his name called in April. Taking a look at Kalshi, he’s currently shown as having a 39% chance of being a top-10 pick:
After backing up Audric Estime as a true freshman, Love posted 1,128 yards and 17 touchdowns in 2024. A year later, his 1,372 yards were eighth-best in the country, while his 18 rushing touchdowns were tied for third-highest in FBS. He ultimately finished third in the Heisman Trophy voting.
His 2,882 career rushing yards are seventh in Notre Dame history, while his 1,372 yards in 2025 is top five in the program record books. He is tied for third in rushing touchdowns (36) and tied with Estime for most touchdowns in a single season (18).
