There is no doubt in at Notre Dame fan's mind that Jeremiyah Love is the best returning running back in college football this season, and ESPN has just confirmed that. ESPN has also confirmed that cornerback Leonard Moore is at the top of his position as well, naming both him and Love to their Preseason All-American list.
This is the second year in a row that Notre Dame has had two players named to this list by ESPN, showing that Marcus Freeman must be doing something right in South Bend.
Love is sharing the running backs' spotlight with Penn State running back Nicholas Singleton, who also had a monster 2024 season and made the choice to return to college football.
