Notre Dame RB Jadarian Price makes 2026 NFL Draft decision

Notre Dame Fighting Irish running back Jadarian Price will be following his teammate and fellow running back Jeremiyah Love into the 2026 NFL Draft.

Price didn't get the hype that Love did this season. Love, for his part, was a Heisman Trophy finalist, but Price was just as vital to Notre Dame's success in 2025. A junior, Price could come back for another season in South Bend because he does have one more year of eligibility, but he has decided to prioritize his pro future.

"After much reflection, I have decided to declare for the NFL Draft," Price posted on his Instagram account (h/t the "South Bend Tribune"). "First, I want to thank God and my family for their love, sacrifice and belief in me throughout this journey. They make all of this possible."

Price thanked his coaches for believing in him as a football player and as a person. He also clearly got a ton out of his time at Notre Dame.

"As I step into the next chapter and pursue my dream of playing in the NFL, I carry with me the lessons, values and memories Notre Dame has given me," Price said.
