In the first game that Notre Dame didn’t have star cornerback [autotag]Benjamin Morrison[/autotag], he still helped the Irish defeat Georgia Tech 31-13.
The junior underwent hip surgery this week, as head coach [autotag]Marcus Freeman[/autotag] told us that he has been ruled out the remainder of the season on Monday. Multiple players will try and fill his big shoes, but they aren’t alone.
As Freeman mentioned during his postgame media session, Morrison was helping his teammates prepare for the Yellow Jackets after watching film on them and breaking it down for them. He has been doing this from a hospital bed, as he currently can’t walk following the procedure.
This just shows that Morrison is the consummate teammate, one that even though he can’t be on the field with his squad, is still willing to help them win the game.
What’s also interesting about this fact is that this could be a preclude to Morrison becoming a coach after his playing career is over. Wouldn’t it be great to see him roaming the sidelines after successful NFL career?
