Jeremiyah Love

Jeremiyah Love’s excellence on the field has been on full display throughout his career, and especially in the 2025 season, but paired with his prowess on the field is his unshakable confidence and pursuit of being his best and most authentic self. He has been named a finalist for the Maxwell Award, Walter Camp Player of the Year, and the Doak Walker Award. He is also a nominee for the Capitol One Orange Bowl FWAA Courage Award.

His ability to astound, connect and inspire has made him one of the most special college football players in the country.

This season, Love has posted 199 rushes for 1,372 yards and 18 touchdowns, adding 27 receptions for 280 yards and three touchdowns. He averages 6.9 yards per rush on the season. Even more impressive, he does it all while sharing a backfield with fellow running back Jadarian Price, who himself has totaled 113 rushes for 674 yards and 11 touchdowns. 

Six FBS players have rushed for 1,300 yards during the 2025 regular season. Love is the only player on that list who shares the backfield with another running back who has also rushed for at least 600 yards this season.

He is the only player in the nation to rank in the top three in scoring, total touchdowns and yards from scrimmage.

What They’re Saying

“They have the best player in college football. I’m going to say that right now. Jeremiyah Love, their star running back, he’s the most versatile player in college football: every down and distance, everything you need, the game-breaking plays, the short-yardage gritty plays.”- Joe Tessitore

“Hats off to that running back. I think he’s the Heisman. We just wanted to tackle. What made it difficult is, he’s the best running back in the country. So I think it’s difficult for everyone to tackle, but it probably looked worse for us today.” – Fran Brown, Syracuse Head Coach

“He’s talented, man. He’s a Heisman Trophy candidate. That’s a big guy with some speed that can go.” – Pat Narduzzi, Pitt Head Coach

“I call him poetry in motion. He’s so smooth. Everyone watched that highlight reel, the spin move that he had, but it’s more than that. It’s how smooth he is with his feet, and then when he sees a crease, that level of acceleration that he has, that most big backs just don’t possess… The size, the ability to contribute in the pass game, the acceleration, and every time he touches the ball, you have to take a deep breath.” – Todd McShay

“There are Heisman moments, and really, they happen in November. This is a pretty spectacular play that not everybody around the country can make. Jeremiyah Love just continues to make big plays.” – Todd Blackledge

“There needs to be a lot of attention paid to Jeremiyah Love’s Heisman Trophy campaign… If we’re really talking about the most outstanding player in college football, he deserves a really good long hard look, because I think he is absolutely in that conversation.” – Greg McElroy

“Love is the biggest home run hitter in college football.” – Pat Forde

“He’s the best player on the best offense in college football. If you put up his 10, 20 best plays against anybody in the sport, his highlight film, let’s say, I’d say he’d dominate everybody in that discussion.” – Chris Simms
