In a move that has sent shockwaves throughout the college football landscape, Notre Dame’s rising star running back Jeremiah Love has rejected a massive $4.5 million Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) offer from the University of Georgia, choosing instead to stay loyal to the Fighting Irish.
The bold decision comes at a time when NIL deals are reshaping the future of college athletics, but for Love, loyalty and legacy mattered more than money.
“I have no plans beyond being a Dame,” Love told reporters. “This is my home, my family, and my mission is to help bring a championship back to South Bend. The rest can wait.”
Love, a standout in Notre Dame’s backfield and one of the most electric players in the nation, has quickly become a fan favorite not just for his on-field performance, but now for his off-field commitment and values.
Notre Dame head coach Marcus Freeman praised the young star’s decision, calling it “a powerful statement about who we are and what we stand for as a program.”
As the college football world reacts, one thing is clear: Jeremiah Love isn’t just playing for touchdowns—he’s playing for tradition.
