Jeremiyah Love Reveals Shocking Offers to Lure Him Away from Notre Dame—What Teams Are Making Their Move?

College football’s transfer portal is more like a wild west saloon than most fans realize. Take Notre Dame’s Jeremiyah Love — everyone assumed he’d suit up for the Irish again in 2025, yet that didn’t stop other programs from whispering sweet nothings and tossing offers his way. It’s a classic game of persistence and persuasion behind the scenes, an undercurrent rarely visible to the average spectator. As someone entrenched in the college football beat, I can say these tampering tales are as common as a Thursday night game, though they seldom see the light of day. This isn’t just paranoia from coaches like Pat Narduzzi; it’s a messy reality that keeps churning without multi-year contracts or collective bargaining agreements in place. Yet, amidst all this hustle, Jeremiyah Love’s loyalty shines bright — a testament to his character, Coach Marcus Freeman’s guidance, and the Notre Dame program’s magnetic pull. LEARN MORE

If you ever wondered just how much tampering goes on in college football as teams desperately scratch at the transfer portal — it’s probably a LOT more than you think. Notre Dame’s Jeremiyah Love is one of those fun examples of a player that everyone knew was returning to Notre Dame in 2025 — but teams still were like “hey let’s call him up and throw a bag at him.”

Love never was in doubt of leaving the Irish, as he tells Kevin Clark here, but average fans didn’t hear anything about it either. As a CFB reporter/personality, I hear these tales quite a bit, but since nothing comes from it, no one knows about it.

Tampering isn’t just a figment of Pat Narduzzi’s imagination — it’s a real thing that happens all of the time. Until there are multi-year contracts developed under collective bargaining, it will continue to be part of college football.

On a positive note… I think this whole thing says a lot about Jeremiyah Love, Marcus Freeman, and Notre Dame itself.
