Notre Dame's Jeremiyah Love continues to give back, hosts youth football camp
Love put on the CareSource Jeremiyah Love Impact Camp for local kids at Washington High School in South Bend. The camp featured over 200 kids in grades 1-8, and Love taught them various fundamentals of football through a variety of drills.
The Fighting Irish football team as a whole prides itself on giving back to the community in South Bend throughout the year.
"It feels great," Love said. "I love interacting with kids and just people in general. So, whenever I get an opportunity to do something like this, I'm all for it. I'm ready to go.
"It means a lot to be able to come out and just be here with the kids. I'm not necessarily teaching them how to do things because there's so many kids here, but I'm around talking with them and just introducing myself. Just trying to be cool with them. But yeah, it means a lot."
The Irish kick off the new season at Miami on August 31.

Notre Dame Opponent Coaching Hot Seat Grades According To CBS Sports
Notre Dame Opponent Coaching Hot Seat Grades According To CBS Sports originally appeared on Athlon Sports. CBS Sports released a grading scale for all 136 FBS coaches and where they ranked on the 'hot seat' heading into the 2025 season. Every year, without fail, there are coaches who work their way in or out of the hot seat discussion. Here is a breakdown of CBS Sports grading scale: Advertisement 5: Win or be let go 4 - 4.99: Start improving now 3 -3.99: Pressure is mounting 2 - 2.99: All now 1 - 1.99: Safe and secure 0 - 0.99: Untouchable All 12 of Notre Dame's regular season opponents live on this scale between 0.8 and 4.99; let's take a look at where these coaches fall on this grading scale broken down by quarters of the season. Quarter One Coaches Mario Cristobal, Miami - 2.56 Mike Elko, Texas A&M - 1.67 Barry Odom, Purdue - 1.0 All three of these coaches are at varying spots in their tenure with their respective programs. Odom was just hired for the Boilermakers and is gearing up for his first season in West Lafayette. He came from UNLV where they had one of their best seasons in recent memory. Advertisement Elko took over for the Aggies last fall and went 8-5 in his first season at College Station. The former Notre Dame defensive coordinator will square off with the Irish in South Bend in week three of the college football season and will look to build on his first year at the helm. Cristobal led Miami to a 10-3 record last year and if it weren't for a collapse in November, we would likely be talking about the Hurricanes as one of the teams who made the first ever 12 team College Football Playoffs. He holds the highest ranking of the trio and will have to put his team back in contention for a playoff bid after losing some impactful production from 2024. Quarter Two Coaches Sam Pittman, Arkansas - 4.22 Spencer Danielson, Boise State - 0.89 Dave Doeren, NC State - 3.0 Advertisement Pittman has the highest grade amongst Notre Dame opponents. He's had a lack luster couple of seasons with the Razorbacks and is sitting at an overall record of 30-31. Pittman had his last nine win season back in 2021, since then he's gone 7-6. 4-8 and 7-6. With another daunting schedule on the horizon that includes Notre Dame, Ole Miss, Tennessee, Texas A&M, LSU and Texas, Pittman will have to rally his troops. Danielson has the lowest grade amongst Notre Dame opponents. He took over as the interim head coach in 2023 and went 3-1. Last season, he led Boise State to a 12-2 record and a conference championship win as well as a bye in the first ever 12 team College Football Playoff. Danielson's position at Boise State is more than secure heading into the 2025 season. Doeren has been one of the more interesting coaches to follow in the FBS. He's heading into year 13 at the helm for the Wolfpack and has only had three losing seasons in 2013, 2019 and last season at 6-7. However, he's never encompassed the 10 win mark and hasn't won in the post season since 2017. Doeren is sitting at an 87-65 overall record with NC State and will have to have a bounce back year in 2025, something he's done repeatedly over his career. Quarter Three Coaches Lincoln Riley, USC - 3.33 Bill O'Brien, Boston College - 1.56 Brian Newberry, Navy - 1.22 Advertisement Riley has the second highest grade amongst Notre Dame opponents. He took over the Trojans program in 2022 and led USC to an 11-3 record behind a stellar performance from his Heisman winning quarterback. Since 2022 however, Riley and the Trojans have steadily regressed as a program. In 2023 USC went 8-5 and last season they went 7-6 in their first year in the Big Ten. This is a big season for Riley, and the task won't get easier seeing that they play Notre Dame, Illinois, Nebraska and Oregon on the road and have home contests against Michigan and Iowa this season. O'Brien took over the Eagles last season and went 7-6. Some may not view that as an overly impressive first year, but Boston College was a few plays away here and there from potentially being 8-5 or even 9-4. All of their losses were competitive, even their 'blowout' loss to Virginia Tech which was a 28-21 ball game heading into the fourth quarter. With a new quarterback under center who will likely fit his play calling style, the Eagles may be an underrated team in the ACC heading into November. Newberry ended last season in dramatic fashion. After starting the season 6-0, they dropped three of their next four games including a 51-14 loss to Notre Dame and a 35-0 loss to Tulane. After quarterback Blake Horvath returned to health, the Midshipmen ended the season on a high note. They knocked off Army in a 31-13 rout and went on to beat Oklahoma in the Armed Forces Bowl 21-20. Newberry returns a very experienced roster in 2025 and has a chance to be the group of five bid in this years playoffs. Quarter Four Coaches Pat Narduzzi, Pittsburgh - 2.56 Fran Brown, Syracuse - 1.0 Frank Reich, Stanford - 3.22 Advertisement I don't look too much into Reich's grade on this scale. He's taking over as the interim head coach for a Stanford program who lost 27 players to the transfer portal this past offseason and have yet to hire an athletic director. Football General Manager Andrew Luck stated they are close to hiring one but it's still a few weeks away. The Cardinal went 3-9 last season, anything above that with their roster should be considered a win. Narduzzi is heading into his 11th year at the helm for the Panthers. During his tenure, they've only had two losing seasons in 2017 and 2023 and have been at .500 or above in every other season. Last year, they started out the season 7-0 and found themselves ranked in the Top 25. After an unfortunate injury to their starting quarterback, they ended the season on a six game losing streak. The floor and ceiling for this Panthers team is a very wide margin, but if Narduzzi can build off of last season, Pitt will be one of Notre Dame's toughest opponents down the stretch. Brown has turned around the Syracuse program after an electric 10-3 season. The Orange had one of the best passing offenses in the country last year and spent some of the season ranked in the Top 25. Brown and the Orange effectively ended Miami's chances of making the playoffs last year with a 42-38 victory in the last week of the regular season. They also knocked off Georgia Tech 31-28 in week two and UNLV in a 44-41 shoot out that went into overtime. Other Notable Grades I'm sure you're wondering where Notre Dame's head coach ranks amongst the other 136 FBS coaches on this scale. Marcus Freeman is in a three-way tie for the lowest grade per CBS Sports with a 0.11 which is also held by Georgia's Kirby Smart and Army's Jeff Monken. These three coaches are considered the 'most untouchable' by CBS Sports heading into the 2025 season. Here are a few other notable coaching grades: Advertisement Dabo Swinney, Clemson - 0.22 Dan Lanning, Oregon - 0.22 Steve Sarkisian, Texas - 0.44 Ryan Day, Ohio State - 0.89 Matt Rhule, Nebraska - 2.11 Kalen DeBoer, Alabama - 2.33 Brian Kelly, LSU - 3.33 Mike Norvell, Florida State - 3.33 Brent Venables, Oklahoma - 4.67 Be sure to check out the Irish Breakdown message board, the Champions Lounge Irish Breakdown Content 2025 Depth Chart 2025 Football Schedule Notre Dame 2026 Scholarship Offers 2025 Commit Rankings - Offense 2025 Commit Rankings - Defense 2024 Recruiting Class 2023 Recruiting Class 2022 Recruiting Class ——————— Become a premium Irish Breakdown member, which grants you access to all of our premium content and our premium message board!

Spartans' Aidan Chiles snubbed in On3's top Big Ten quarterbacks rankings
On3's Andy Staples has released his rankings of the top quarterbacks in the Big Ten, and unfortunately, Michigan State's Aidan Chiles did not make the cut. Staples put out his top 10 quarterbacks in the Big Ten list earlier this week, with Chiles failing to be included. You can see the top 10 list of quarterbacks from Staples in the social media X post below: Staples' list and opinion on Chiles aligns with Paul Myerberg of USA TODAY Sports, who also had him as a back half of the Big Ten quarterback in his recent preseason rankings. Myerberg has Chiles listed as the No. 12 quarterback in his Big Ten rankings released earlier this month. Chiles is entering his second year as the Spartans' starter at quarterback, looking for more consistency from game-to-game. He finished last season with 2,415 passing yards, 13 touchdowns and 11 interceptions with a completion percentage just under 60%. The bright spot, though, for Chiles was his growth during the second half the season where he only threw three of his 11 interceptions in the final six games of the year. For Michigan State to get back to a bowl game or above this season, Chiles will need to play like an upper half quarterback in the Big Ten. So, hopefully, if Staples were to do a postseason version of these same rankings, we will be seeing Chiles' name on that list unlike these preseason rankings.

Steelers countdown to kickoff — No. 53: a history of the number and who wore it best
The Steelers countdown to kickoff is here — and we're at 53 days until Pittsburgh faces off against the New York Jets at MetLife Stadium. In the spirit of the countdown, we're taking a look at the history of No. 53 and the players who wore it best. Current Steelers No. 53 wearer: OLB Eku Leota Heading into the 2025 season, OLB Eku Leota is the current Steelers wearer of No. 53. The outside linebacker signed with the Carolina Panthers as an undrafted free agent in 2023 — where he would remain until being released on September 21, 2024. Less than two weeks later, the Steelers signed Leota to their practice squad — ultimately appearing in just one game in 2024 for Pittsburgh. He would sign a Future/Reserve contract this past January — but faces stiff competition to make the 53-man roster due to a loaded outside linebacker room. Last five Steelers to wear No. 53: Best No. 53 in Steelers history: C Maurkice Pouncey When it comes to No. 53, no Steeler wore it better than C Maurkice Pouncey. Drafted by Pittsburgh with the 18th overall pick in the first round of the 2010 NFL Draft, Pouncey served as a long-time leader of the Steelers' offensive line for over a decade, tasked with protecting the legendary Ben Roethlisberger. He played in 134 career games and started every one of those contests for the Steelers. Pouncey's stellar play resulted in two First-Team All-Pro selections and three Second-Team All-Pro selections — while also being named to nine Pro Bowls. For his achievements, he was named to the NFL 2010s All-Decade Team — and there is no honor more befitting than to be recognized as the greatest Steeler to ever wear No. 53.
