"Bro is not Derrick Henry" - CFB fans mock Notre Dame RB Jeremiyah Love for bold Heisman Trophy prediction

Jeremiyah Love played a major role in Notre Dame's run to the 2024 College Football Playoff National Championship game. The Fighting Irish competed hard but were undone by an inspired Ohio State Buckeyes side.

On Monday, Love has set his eyes on the Heisman Trophy ahead of the 2025 season. His declaration got CFB fans talking.

One said, "Bro is NOT Derrick Henry 😭💔🥀."

Another added, "I am also eyeing the Heisman trophy because I play D1 football."

One chimed in, "He’s not. He can’t carry the ball ten times a game without getting injured."

However, others were more gracious with their comments regarding the Notre Dame RB1.

One commented, "I would L☘️VE to see it"

Another said, "People still sleeping on the best RB in football? Okay ☘️🤣"

One added, " Jeremiah Love will win the Heisman in 2025, and we’ll canonize him by the USC game!"

According to On3 Sports, Jeremiyah Love told reporter Pete Nakos that he aims to become the first running back since Derrick Henry to win the Heisman Trophy. It has been ten years since the Alabama Crimson Tide product won college football's biggest individual prize.

Henry enjoyed a stellar campaign under Nick Saban at Alabama. The Bama star posted a stat line of 2,219 rushing yards and 28 rushing touchdowns, which was crucial to the Crimson Tide ruling college football. Love will have to meet high expectations if he's to end the RB Heisman Trophy drought in 2025.

What's next for Jeremiyah Love and Notre Dame?

Jeremiyah Love has spent his entire college football career with the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. Love spent his first season as a backup for Marcus Freeman's side before taking over as the starting running back in Year 2. He repaid his coach's faith and trust with numerous standout performances, leading the team to a deep postseason run.

Love is an ambitious player, as shown by his Heisman Trophy aspirations. He'll like his chances, given Notre Dame's reliance on the ground game and straightforward approach in regular-season play. There's a strong possibility he sets career highs in rush attempts, rushing yards and touchdowns this season.

The Notre Dame Fighting Irish start their national championship quest with a trip to Miami to face off against Carson Beck and the Hurricanes. A win in that game would set up Freeman's side nicely for the rest of the campaign. Expect Love to play a key role against a still-developing Hurricanes squad.
