Summary
Benjamin Morrison is an ideally sized outside cornerback well-suited for modern coverage demands. His fluidity stands out on film, with loose hips, explosive movements and smooth speed that allow him to mirror receivers effectively in man coverage. However, he can occasionally be too grabby, which may draw flags at the next level. His recovery speed is solid -- good but not elite -- and his ball skills are a strong asset. He has a knack for creating turnovers, though opposing quarterbacks largely avoided his side of the field later in his collegiate career. Morrison typically gets his head around on time and has the leaping ability to contest passes at the catch point effectively. On the downside, Morrison needs to develop greater physicality at the line of scrimmage and when shedding blocks. His tackling is also a glaring area for improvement; he too often gets overpowered or misses altogether, particularly in open space. In zone coverage, while his quickness and suddenness are evident, they haven't consistently translated into game-changing plays. That said, he excels in scramble-drill situations, showing a natural feel for tracking receivers when plays break down. With his current skill set and room for growth, he projects as a high-upside NFL starter.
About
- 2022: Freshman All-American after recording six interceptions (most for a Notre Dame defender since 2012), four pass breakups and a pick-six
- 2024: Preseason All-American who only played six games before suffering a season-ending hip injury
Strengths
- Uber-fluid athlete to mirror wideouts
- When he was targeted early in his collegiate career, ball skills were very apparent
- Recovery speed if initially beaten
Weaknesses
- Clear weakness as a run defender, both in filling lanes and tackle reliability
- Press coverage physicality can be improved
- Not quite as impactful in zone as he is in man

Buccaneers' Benjamin Morrison: Buccaneers add talented corner
The Buccaneers selected Morrison in the second round of the 2025 NFL Draft, 53rd overall.
Morrison (6-feet, 193 pounds) was a starter for all three of his seasons at Notre Dame, including a true freshman season where he intercepted six passes. A hip injury ended Morrison's 2024 season after six games, but it's not believed to be a long-term concern. Players who start as freshmen at schools as big as Notre Dame usually have a place in the NFL, and freshmen who produce like Morrison almost always do. Morrison should give the Buccaneers a potential long-term replacement for Jamel Dean.
