Notre Dame football fans are very, very excited to see what star running back Jeremiyah Love has to offer in the 2025 season. There has been more than a little talk about him being a contender for the Heisman. But first he needs to heal and reload. It appears he’s done just that.
Love spoke to the media earlier this week and made it clear that the injury that hampered the end of his 2024 season is healed up and he’s ready to go. But he also talked about how he needed to mentally recover after a very long season. In fact, the longest season in college football history.
"For me it was just taking a mental break," the Notre Dame football star explained. "It's hard playing 16 games in 16 straight weeks, playing against good teams at that. My process was just getting my mental right.”

Love continued explaining that his body needed to heal for sure. But he also needed to just not be a football player for a bit. He needed to check out and relax. Decompress from a high pressure campaign.
“Getting away from football for a little bit. Getting myself connected to my family because I didn't really speak to them during the season because I was so busy and I was locked in. Connected a little with family. Doing some things I like to do. Playing video games, watching TV, a workout here and there to keep my body in shape. Go for a run or something like that."
The Notre Dame football star said all of this while making it clear that he has recharged and is ready to go at it again. And that’s obviously very good news for Fighting Irish fans expecting a big season this fall.
