Notre Dame corner Benjamin Morrison a semi-finalist for national award

Could Morrison be the first member of the Irish to win the award?

Even though [autotag]Notre Dame football[/autotag] cornerback [autotag]Benjamin Morrison[/autotag] won’t come close to the same production he had during his freshman season, national pundits are still noticing how well he has played.

When you pick off six passes as a true freshman, team’s tend to throw to the opposite side. That could be a reason why safety Xavier Watts has been on fire, his teammate Morrison having a lot to do with it.

It’s not like Morrison hasn’t been great this year, he’s got 20 tackles and 2 interceptions, and that was enough for the Paycom [autotag]Jim Thorpe Award[/autotag] to name him as a semi-finalist.

No member of the Notre Dame football team has won this award since it’s inception in 1986.
