Notre Dame CB Benjamin Morrison undergoes shoulder surgery

Notre Dame cornerback Benjamin Morrison underwent successful arthroscopic surgery on his right shoulder Monday, the team announced Tuesday morning. The star defender, who is entering his junior year, is expected to return for the 2024 football season.

Dr. Brian Ratigan, M.D., Notre Dame’s head of orthopedic sports medicine, performed Morrison’s surgery.

Morrison burst onto the scene as a true freshman in 2022, intercepting 6 passes and allowing an opponent passer rating of 29.2 as the nearest defender, according to Pro Football Focus. He was named a Freshman All-American, and he followed it up with a similarly dominant year in 2023.

As a sophomore, Morrison picked up 3 interceptions and allowed 25 passes for 279 yards on 51 targets in coverage. He is widely considered to be a first-round prospect for the 2025 NFL Draft, when he’ll become eligible.
