In January 2025, with a trip to the College Football Playoff championship on the line, Jeremiyah Love powered into the end zone through sheer will.

The play is forever etched into Notre Dame lore. Facing Penn State in the Orange Bowl, tied 10–10 early in the fourth quarter, Love lined up for 1st-and-goal while playing through a knee injury. He took the handoff for a touchdown — something he did 42 times for Notre Dame across three seasons — but this journey from the two-yard line to the goal line was unlike any other.

Love lifted his legs to avoid one tackle. Drove through another defender. Absorbed contact from two additional Nittany Lions while staying upright, then dove across the goal line as a fifth defender dragged him down.

Considering the stakes, the run could be described in one word: Heroic. As Love heads to the NFL as a potential top-five pick, he brings explosiveness, elite speed and an all-around skill set that should make him a three-down back. But beyond the highlights is a humble, understated side of the star — one he's expressing through an interest that found life in the NIL era: comic books.
