It was two decades ago now that Jerome Bettis and Plaxico Burress were key cogs on the Pittsburgh Steelers offense. Both would go on to win Super Bowls when they were no longer teammates and both had kids of their own now.
Or I should say, both have kids that are being recruited to play football at Notre Dame now.
Jerome Bettis, Jr., and Elijah Burress are both recruits in the 2025 cycle and are yet to announce commitments to any program. Both were on Notre Dame’s campus last weekend and seemed to have enjoyed their time. They even posed for a staged photo together, one Burress posted to social media with a nod to both of their fathers.

No word yet on when either plans to announce their college plans but Notre Dame is clearly a player for both. The Irish currently have the top-ranked 2025 recruiting class by multiple outlets.
