Newsstand: Notable Notre Dame player ratings boosts in EA Sports College Football 25
EA Sports released new ratings for individual players in its College Football 25 video game this week. Several Notre Dame players received notable bumps or took hits.
Here’s a look at who they were.

RB Jeremiyah Love (86, +1)
RB Jadarian Price (84, +1)
S Adon Shuler (81, +5)
CB Christian Gray (80, +2)

LT Anthonie Knapp (+7)
TE Cooper Flanagan (77, +4)
OG Sullivan Absher (77, +1)
CB Leonard Moore (74, +5)
WR KK Smith (71, +5)
Watts is now tied with cornerback Benjamin Morrison for the highest overall rating on the team. Defensive tackle Howard Cross III is the only other Irish player in the top 100 overall players in the country in the game. He comes in at 90th with an overall grade of 90.
Notre Dame tweets of the day
Love got his one-point overall boost in the video game, and if the developers behind the scenes know anything about his game they ought to be boosting his blocking ratings too. He’s been exceptional as a lead-blocker for quarterback Riley Leonard this season.
We don't talk enough about what Jeremiyah Love is doing as a run-blocker this season. The sophomore RB has Notre Dame's highest PFF run-blocking grade.Riley Leonard can do so much on his own with his legs, but everyone needs a little help. Love often provides it. He does here. pic.twitter.com/o45HVJ7I3q— Tyler Horka (@tbhorka) October 2, 2024
Northwestern defensive back transfer Rod Heard II doesn’t get as many headlines as some of the other players in the Irish’s stacked secondary, but he earned his keep with back-to-back plays in a pivotal moment against Louisville. His timing to break up passes is textbook.
Rod Heard II played nickel briefly out of necessity vs. Louisville. He broke up back-to-back passes on 3rd and 4th down. No big deal.Assist to the Notre Dame pass rush on 4th & 2, but Heard was still all over it. He epitomizes the depth and versatility of the Irish secondary. pic.twitter.com/DOCTb4OFtt— Tyler Horka (@tbhorka) October 2, 2024
Five-star point guard and the No. 2 player in the class of 2026 Kate Harpring visited South Bend this past weekend. She’s the daughter of 11-year NBA veteran Matt Harpring, and she goes to school at the same preps program (Marist School in Atlanta) that produced former Irish safety and NFL All-Pro defensive back Kyle Hamilton.

Fighting Irish quote of the day
“There’s a lot of coaches that say they’ll do one thing, but [Micah Shrewsberry] showed me his plan and he’s done it before. I trust him and his staff. It’s a great staff. It’s a great school. It’s a culture I want to be a part of and help build.”
