‘That’s the sign of a great one’: Benjamin Morrison ready to level up in sophomore season

Matthew Crow | Friday, April 21, 2023

You probably didn’t know Benjamin Morrison’s name this time last year. After all, he was still in high school, finishing his senior year at Brophy Prep in Phoenix.

This Thursday, Feb. 16, the 93rd annual Bengal Bou This Thursday, Feb. 16, the 93rd annual Bengal Bouts will begin its preliminary rounds.

That game was a heartbreaking loss for a Notre Dame team that had started 6-0 before stumbling down the stretch to a 7-5 record. A bowl game win over LSU salvaged some optimism for the program’s future, but that loss to Northwestern was a shocking result that contributed to one of the more appalling stretches of Irish football in the Brian Kelly era.
