After finishing his 2025 season as a Heisman finalist, Notre Dame running back Jeremiyah Love is ready for the next step in his career. Love participated in the 2026 NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis over the weekend, putting on a show in the drills that he ran.
Love was able to meet with teams as well and the reaction so far has been a positive one.
Going into this draft process, Love was considered a first-round pick and some had him as a top 10 talent. But it appears as if his stock increased with his performance in Indianapolis.

With the combine officially complete, mock drafts are slowly coming out with updates from Indianapolis. In a few of them, Love has shot up in the Top 10 and some have him going in the top 5. The latest?
Nate Davis of USA TODAY Sports released his mock draft and has Love going No. 4 overall to the Tennessee Titans. Here is what Davis wrote on Love going to Tennessee in his mock:
What’s the best way to advance the development of QB Cam Ward, last year’s No. 1 overall pick? How about giving him a player perhaps adjacent to Saquon Barkley or Bijan Robinson in terms of game-breaking ability and versatility? Love is an every-down back, one who’s averaged 6.9 yards per carry and caught 55 passes over the past two seasons. The Titans could keep his usage in check as a rookie with RB Tony Pollard under contract for one more season. But pairing Love and Ward could potentially create an offense primed to surge ticket sales when the Titans move into their new stadium in 2027.
Love would be a huge addition to the Titans offense. Not only do they have a need at the position, but taking the pressure off of Cam Ward is crucial for the qaurterback’s second season. He could split carries with Tony Pollard as well.
For Love, Tennessee seems like a really good fit. The New York Giants sit at No. 5 as well and could be another good fit for him. They would also pair him with a young quarterback in Jaxson Dart.
The highest I’ve seen Love go is No. 3 overall with Todd McShay revealing that following the combine. Love will participate in Notre Dame’s pro day is scheduled for March 24th. It’s another opportunity for Love to improve his draft stock even more.
