Notre Dame's Benjamin Morrison Out for Season with Hip Injury, Surgery Required

Oct 14, 2024, 04:38 PM

Notre Dame cornerback Benjamin Morrison is out for the season due to a hip injury, as announced by head coach Marcus Freeman. Morrison, a captain and three-year starter, is widely projected to be a first-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. Prior to the injury, he was graded as a top-15 prospect by the B/R Scouting Department and was considered one of the better defensive players in college football. The injury, which will require surgery, is a significant blow to Notre Dame, which has faced a series of injuries this season. True freshman Leonard Moore is expected to step up in Morrison's absence.
