“As far as looking back on my journey, I didn’t start off with having some big NIL deals,” Jeremiah Love said. “I started off having none. I came into college not having any deals. But I put my head down, grinded, did the things I had to do on the field, and all that stuff just came naturally.

I would say don’t focus on NIL and all the money or whatever. Just don’t focus on it. Focus on football. Because at the end of the day, if you perform on the field, all that other stuff will come.”

With that being said, Jeremiah Love bought a Porsche for his mom with the money he earned from the NIL deal last year. “I bought a (Porsche) over the summer and gave it to my mom. She has it now (so) it’s hers now, basically,” Love said.
