Jaden Marcus Greathouse, born October 29, 2004, in Austin, Texas, is an American college football wide receiver for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish.[1][10] A consensus four-star recruit ranked among the top prospects in Texas, he chose Notre Dame over offers from Texas, Oklahoma, and others after a stellar high school career at Westlake High School.[1][3][7] At Westlake, Greathouse became the program's most prolific receiver with 232 receptions, 4,035 yards, and 53 touchdowns—ranking 15th in Texas high school football history for yards.[2][3] He helped secure three consecutive state championships, earning 2021 State Championship Offensive MVP honors with a record 236 receiving yards in the title game.[1][2][3] As a multi-sport athlete, he also excelled in basketball, averaging 13.8 points per game as a junior to lead Westlake to the Texas 6A semifinals.[1][3][5] Greathouse debuted for Notre Dame in 2023 against Navy, catching three passes for 68 yards and two touchdowns despite a hamstring injury that limited him to 18 receptions, 265 yards, and a team-high five scores over 12 games.[1][2][3] In 2024, as a sophomore starter in 11 games, he recorded 42 catches for 592 yards (team-high) and four touchdowns, including a career-first 100-yard game (105 yards, one TD) in the Orange Bowl win over Penn State.[1][2][3] During the College Football Playoff, he exploded for 13 receptions, 233 yards, and three touchdowns across key games, highlighted by six catches for 128 yards and two scores in the National Championship loss to Ohio State.[1][2] Entering his junior season in 2025 (four games: four receptions, 73 yards), the 6'1", 212-pound wide receiver remains Notre Dame's clear WR1, noted for his physical contested-catch ability and big-game reliability amid a football family pedigree—father Chris played at Washington State, uncle Oscar coaches at Wyoming.[2][3][10]
