Notre Dame football's top-5 offensive players entering the 2025 season
Long gone are the days where Notre Dame football's offense has been in question, as the Irish showed last year they can score with the best in the country. The Mike Denbrock-led offense scored 36.1 points-per-game last year, good for No. 10 nationally, and while they did lose some weapons, most notably quarterback Riley Leonard, there is plenty of returning talent that will carry this unit. Advertisement While the season is still a few months away, we are getting plenty of new information about the direction of the team and what to expect from the Irish in 2025. Find out below my top-5 offensive players for Notre Dame this fall as of early June. No. 5 - Quarterback CJ Carr There has yet to be a decision between Carr and Kenny Minchey, but you have to expect that Freeman will go with the higher upside player considering they both have virtually no playing experience. Carr was the No. 68 overall recruit in his class in the 247Sports Composite, while Minchey was No. 170 in the next cycle. Both are more than capable of running the Irish offense, but at this point with Steve Angeli no longer with the program, Carr is the frontrunner in my opinion. No. 4 - Wide receiver Jaden Greathouse The breakout is coming, especially after Greathouse showed the nation in the last two games of the College Football Playoff that he's a gamebreaking talent. He accounted for 13 receptions for 223-yards and three touchdowns, as he torched both Penn State and Ohio State. While the quarterback position is still a question mark, we know that Greathouse can make plays. Notre Dame will play him more in the slot, creating mismatches for him to exploit due to a player later on this list. No. 3 - Running back Jadarian Price Price was second on the team in rushing attempts last year, and averaged 6.2 yards-per-carry, which was just behind the team leaders. He scored seven times as well, and looks to be ready to take the next step this fall. While he will share carries with a player later on this list, Price still seems poised to top last year's impressive numbers. No. 2 - Wide receiver Malachi Fields While Fields wasn't able to practice with the Irish during the spring due to transfer rules, he's going to be a difference-maker this fall. Over the last two years he's caught at least 55 receptions, which would have been first on last year's Notre Dame team. His five touchdowns would have been first, as well as his 808 receiving yards. No Irish receiver has topped those marks since Kevin Austin in 2021, and there's not doubt in my mind that Fields is a much better player. No. 1 - Running back Jeremiyah Love This was an easy choice, as it should be. Love is one of the best players nationally, is getting plenty of pre-season love and could end up in New York after the season concludes. Coming off a year with 1,125 rushing yards with 17 touchdowns to go along with 237 receiving yards and another two scores, the Heisman talk is legit. As long as Love stays healthy, he's one of the best players in the nation. This article originally appeared on Fighting Irish Wire: Predicting Notre Dame's top-5 offensive players of 2025

New armored vehicle provides cover for Haywood's deputies
May 14—A new piece of equipment at the Haywood County Sheriff's Office helps protect deputies during intense situations. The Bearcat is an armored vehicle that the sheriff's office can deploy during a standoff. "It's a big safety net," Capt. David Greathouse said. "We used to do it like a bunch of cowboys and jump in the back of a pickup truck or in a tin van and just drive up and jump out and hope for the best. With this, we can take a calculated risk, sit, give commands and give the opportunity for somebody to surrender." Greathouse said the vehicle is an ideal tool for de-escalation, despite its intimidating appearance. "We're in a bullet-resistant box for whatever," he said. "Everyone looks at it as a crazy tank, but it truly allows us to make an attempt to de-escalate by being there, talking over the PA, being present, but at the same time still being safe. People look at it as this aggressive thing, but its true essence is de-escalation." The sheriff's office was given the go-ahead to purchase the vehicle back in May 2022 at the price of $179,725. Of that money, just under $80,000 came from drug forfeiture money, $84,000 came from grant funding from the NC Department of Public Safety, $5,000 came from donations and $11,000 from the sheriff's office's budget in 2022. Lenco, the company behind the Bearcat, takes an old Department of Energy truck and refurbishes it into the armored vehicle it becomes. This one spent most of its original life running patrols at a nuclear facility in Maryland. The vehicle got a total remodel to turn into what it is today. "They strip it completely down. New engine, new everything but the drive train, new tires, new wheels, new paint," Greathouse said. That new engine is even newer. The sheriff's office received the Bearcat about a year ago and had some troubles out of the box. "We had some mechanical difficulties," Greathouse said. "The remanufactured engine blew up when we got it. It was all completely under warranty, so we basically had a new engine built and put it in." Since getting into operation, the Bearcat has been deployed once, to a standoff with a fugitive wanted out of Tennessee. During that standoff, tear gas was deployed. "We deploy gas manually as an agency," Greathouse said. "We still get up in the turret and we'll shoot something through the window to break the window and then deploy the gas through the broken window." But the Bearcat offers another option, as well. The front arm can punch a hole in the side of a house and launch gas in that way. "Ultimately, you're fully shielded at that point," Greathouse said. The vehicle can also be used for rescue missions. The front arm has a push plate that can move vehicles out of the way if needed. The heavy frame and off-road capabilities also make it a candidate for rescues in flooded areas. "It won't float," Greathouse said. The vehicle can also comfortably cruise at highway speeds. No matter where it's needed, the Bearcat can be there quickly. It has also been used for community outreach events, such as visits to Junaluska and Hazelwood Elementary. "They got their picture made with it. They thought that was the coolest thing ever," said Gina Zachary, sheriff's office public information officer. "A lot of the kids wrote notes and they tried to draw this. It was great."

Emergency home repair program helps break difficult cycle
WARREN, Ohio (WKBN) — As costs rise, issues like a leaky roof or broken furnace can be pushed to the back burner but an emergency home repair program in Warren aims to help lift that burden. However, the program requires more funding so those in need can have a roof over their heads. 'It's a cycle in Warren. People can't repair their homes, they move out. You know, it's a matter of should I buy food or can I fix the roof?' said Third Ward Councilman Greg Greathouse. Greathouse wants to keep funding the Trumbull Neighborhood Partnership's Emergency Home Repair Program. It received $1 million in ARPA funding from the city two years ago and has spent about $700,000 of it on emergency repairs for people in the city. That includes roof and gutter repairs, furnaces, plumbing and accessibility modifications. Greathouse says the program breaks a difficult cycle for people in need. 'They can't fix the house up, they move out of the house, the house sits vacant — then the house gets boarded up, then the house gets condemned and we then have to go find money to tear the house down. This stops that cycle at the very beginning,' Greathouse said. Since 2023, the program has made 163 repairs in 98 households in Warren. The average income of those households is just over $23,000. Currently, the Trumbull Neighborhood Partnership has 160 homes on the waitlist for its emergency repair program and those with the program say they need more funding to help get these people out. 'We'd like to continue that partnership with the city. They see the good investment it does and the housing stock keeping people living there safely. With that investment, we can continue getting through our waiting list,' said program coordinator Caitlyn Constantine. Greathouse would like to authorize an additional $250,000 for the program with up to three yearly renewals. 'It's a wonderful program. It will keep people in their homes, make the necessary repairs. It's money well spent. I'd rather spend $250,000 on fixing out homes than $250,000 tearing down homes,' Greathouse said. The proposal was set for a committee meeting so TNP could answer more questions. Greathouse hopes the legislation will pass after that. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
