In a shocking announcement during Notre Dame football head coach Marcus Freeman’s Monday afternoon press conference, he announced that star cornerback [autotag]Benjamin Morrison[/autotag] will miss the remainder of the season.
The junior defender was expected to be on multiple All-American lists following the completion of the year, but that will now not happen as a hip injury will sideline him for the rest of the campaign and possibly his Irish career.
Freeman said “it’s a blow for our team… You feel terrible for the kid,” when talking about Morrison. While the impact that he has had not quite been felt on the field this fall, it has to do with teams not testing him after entering the season with 9 career interceptions.
While Morrison could come back for his senior year, he most likely will grade out very high with NFL scouts and move on to the next level. It’s a huge blow to the Notre Dame defense as we wish Benjamin the best going forward.
