Jeremiyah Love is a standout running back from St. Louis, currently attending Notre Dame University and a projected top 10 pick in the 2026 NFL draft. Jeremiyah’s success at Notre Dame has led to the creation of his foundation known as 4Love. The foundation run by his family recently had the opportunity to hold one of their first events at St. Charles High School through his brother, school resource officer, Jason Love. Officer Love was inspired by his family as they were all service members of some sort including his mother and father as police officers and Chaketa, the organizer, is an administrator in a school district. 

“We’re all in the service, we’re all in the giving back to our community and that rubbed off on my brother… it’s a part of what my family does,” he explained. 

The 4Love foundation had Officer Love pick out students he believed displayed exemplary behavior and work ethic every single day. These students were met with New Balance gear, lunch, and a video call with Jeremiyah himself. He was supposed to be there but, unfortunately his flight got canceled the night before unexpectedly. Students were able to converse with Jeremiyah talking about topics like motivation, future plans, and words of wisdom. 

“It was engaging, he was telling me how to pursue football as my passion. Being the only freshman was kinda scary but I mean overall it was a fun thing,” said freshman Tristan Campman.

Students were also able to enter their names into a raffle. The students were able to drop their names into a cup guessing where Jeremiyah was going to get drafted. One lucky student who guesses correctly will get a jersey signed by Jeremiyah Love from his new team. Jeremiyah is an inspiration not only to the students of St. Charles High School, but to St. Louis as a whole. The city will continue to support him in his journey forever. 

“I really just feel honored and I feel thankful for them to allow me to have this experience with them. I appreciate [Jeremiyah] greatly, I feel like our youth definitely in times like now need [good] role models,” Zeek Lopez said.
