Sons of Jerome Bettis, Plaxico Burress and Ike Taylor on their way to Notre Dame

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) — The sons of former Pittsburgh Steelers greats Jerome Bettis, Plaxico Burress and Ike Taylor have committed to play football at the University of Notre Dame.

In a post on social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, Elijah Burress shared a photo of himself, Ivan Taylor and Jerome Bettis Jr. in Notre Dame gear with their fathers.

“Legacy,” posted Elijah Burress.

All three are part of Notre Dame’s 2025 recruiting class, ranked No. 2 according to 247 Sports. Ivan Taylor is a four-star safety, while Jerome Bettis Jr. and Elijah Burress are three-star recruits as wide receivers.

Jerome Bettis, Plaxico Burress and Ike Taylor were together on the Steelers in the 2003 and 2004 seasons.

Jerome Bettis played football at Notre Dame from 1990 to 1992 before embarking on a 13-year NFL career, including 10 seasons with the Black and Gold. In 2022, Jerome Bettis graduated from Notre Dame. He re-enrolled at the university in 2020 and completed his final semester two years later.

“It’s never too late to pursue your dreams and continue your education,” he posted on social media in 2022.

Jerome Bettis skipped his senior year to enter the 1993 NFL Draft. He was selected number 10 by the Los Angeles Rams.
