Notre Dame football: Watch Morrison and Merriweather battle in camp

A couple of members of the 2022 Notre Dame recruiting class went head-to-head in one-and-one drills and it was certainly entertaining.

The top returning Notre Dame defender has matched up frequently in fall camp with sophomore wide receiver Tobias Merriweather.  Morrison was a freshman All-American last season while Merriweather struggled to get playing time despite showing flashes.

At practice on Wednesday the two did one-on-one battles and fortunately for us, Andrew Sanders of WNDU was able to capture a couple of the plays.  The first saw Merriweather show every bit the hype he’s received as he worked Morrison.

The good news for Notre Dame fans is that Merriweather did that against an absolute stud of a cornerback.  Perhaps just as good of news is that Morrison bounced right back and won the next round.

A ton has been made of the freshmen receivers but in Merriweather’s second go-around expectations are clearly high for him.  As exciting as these were for what they are, thank God a game against an actual opponent will be played in less than 10 days.
