Greathouse caught three passes for 68 yards and the two scores on just eight snaps in a 42-3 Notre Dame victory over Navy in Dublin, Ireland, last weekend. He led the team in receiving yards and finished tied for second in receptions with senior Chris Tyree and junior Deion Colzie. Junior Jayden Thomas led the way with four.
Playing time is only set to increase for Greathouse. He showed in spring ball and then again in fall camp he could already be one of Notre Dame’s most productive players. Most importantly for 2023, he has generated a strong rapport with Notre Dame quarterback Sam Hartman.

Greathouse was thrilled with his performance in game one. Game two is at 3:30 p.m. ET against Tennessee State in South Bend, Ind., this Saturday. He’d love more of the same.
“It was amazing,” Greathouse said after the Navy game. “I’ve dreamt of this ever since I was young. The opportunity is finally here. I’m glad that I was able to make the most of it. My teammates out there helping me, I couldn’t have done it without them boosting me up and elevating my level of play. When we comeback to the sideline, everybody is cheering. Everybody is happy for each other. It’s really a beautiful thing.”
