Why LSU?
According to insiders close to the recruitment, several factors swayed Love’s decision to flip late in the process:
Brian Kelly’s offensive system and history with dynamic running backs
A clearer path to early playing time in Baton Rouge
LSU’s continued rise as a top contender in the SEC and CFP picture
Growing NIL opportunities and national exposure
One recruiting analyst commented:
> “LSU is back in the mix for elite skill talent across the country — and flipping a back like Jeremiyah Love from Notre Dame proves that.”

What This Means for LSU
With Love now committed, LSU secures one of the most dangerous offensive weapons in the class. Paired with other blue-chip signees, he brings immediate excitement to Death Valley and adds to an offense that is already stacked with speed, size, and swagger.
Head Coach Brian Kelly has quietly built one of the most well-rounded recruiting classes in the country, and adding a five-star running back only pushes the Tigers closer to another championship-caliber roster.

Notre Dame Fallout
Notre Dame, meanwhile, loses a marquee talent just months ahead of National Signing Day. Love was expected to be the future face of the Irish backfield. While Notre Dame still has strong pieces in its class, this flip is a tough blow to its offensive outlook moving forward.

Fan Reaction
The announcement set social media on fire:
LSU Fans:
“We just got a Ferrari for the backfield. #GeauxTigers”
“Jeremiyah Love… welcome to Death Valley, baby!”
Notre Dame Fans:
“Huge loss. Can’t sugarcoat it.”
“Wishing the kid success, but this one stings.”

Bottom Line
Jeremiyah Love is headed to Baton Rouge — and LSU just landed one of the most electric playmakers in America. The Tigers aren’t just recruiting. They’re reloading.
