There will be no lack of star power on either side of the ball for Notre Dame football in the fall, as they return multiple players who are nationally recognized.
Two of them, running back Jeremiyah Love and cornerback Leonard Moore, were named to ESPN’s way-too-early 2025 All-American first-team. The pair was dubbed part of the “next way of rising stars” by Chris Low, as many returning faces from the College Football Playoff made the list.
Love was joined at running back by Penn State’s Nicholas Singleton, the two faced off in the CFP with the Irish coming out on top. Low expects the Notre Dame stars return to health with will lead “to be one of the most productive running backs in college football.”
Moore is viewed as a “promising young talent,” one of many that Low credits head coach Marcus Freeman helping them to contribute early for the Irish. He see’s the rising sophomores speed and instincts that help him lock down wide receives.
Those two weren’t the only Notre Dame players to make the list, as guard Billy Schrauth made the second-team. It’s not always an indicator of future success when players are named to these teams, but it surely doesn’t hurt the hype for any one of these Irish stars.
There could be others that emerge during the season as well, with offensive tackle Anthonie Knapp and linebacker Kyngstonn Viliamu-Asa as potential breakouts on the national level.
