Notre Dame cornerback Benjamin Morrison declares for NFL Draft
SOUTH BEND, Ind. (WNDU) - Notre Dame cornerback Benjamin Morrison will forgo his senior season to enter the NFL Draft.
Morrison announced his decision on Thursday afternoon on social media.
“This is not just the end of one chapter — it’s the beginning of another,” Morrison said in the post. “I’ll carry the lessons, memories, and love from Notre Dame every step of the way.”
Morrison is considered one of the top cornerbacks in the country and first-round draft prospect, even after a hip injury in October sidelined him for the rest of the season.
ESPN’s Mel Kiper Jr. lists Morrison as his No. 23 overall prospect and No. 3 cornerback for the draft.
Morrison finishes his Notre Dame career with nine interceptions, 27 passes defended and 84 tackles.
The loss of Morrison comes as several other Irish players have entered their name in the transfer portal in the days following the loss to Ohio State in the national championship game.
