Benjamin Morrison’s got a chip on his shoulder. And it ain’t blue. He might just be rolling into the NFL Draft with something to prove. The former Notre Dame standout, once a freshman All-American and later a team captain, saw his 2024 season cut short by a hip injury in October. But don’t let that fool you—this 6-foot, 190-pound ball hawk has already left his mark. Back in 2022, Morrison burst onto the scene as a true freshman, snagging six interceptions. Tied for third nationally and marked the most by a Notre Dame player since Manti Te’o’s Heisman-finalist campaign in 2012.

The Phoenix native followed that up in 2023 with three picks and a team-high 10 pass breakups. Earning a semifinalist nod for the Thorpe Award. His stock was soaring heading into 2024, with preseason All-America honors in his pocket, before that nasty hip injury sidelined him. Now, as he gears up to take the next big leap, just like his father, former Washington safety Darryl Morrison, it’s time to talk business. Before he hits the league, let’s rewind and break down Benjamin Morrison’s NIL bag—his deal worth, and top sponsors.

What is Benjamin Morrison’s NIL deal worth?

Before his hip injury, Benjamin Morrison was out there putting top receivers on an island. Including even Marvin Harrison Jr. in Notre Dame’s 2023 showdown against Ohio State. That kind of lockdown ability doesn’t go unnoticed, and some big sharks in the league are circling. The Vikings and Rams are eyeing him as a potential addition to their secondaries, and for good reason. There’s no debating Morrison’s impact in South Bend—his production speaks for itself. In 31 games with the Irish, he racked up 84 tackles, nine interceptions, and 18 pass breakups. He even tallied five tackles for loss, proving he’s not just a ball hawk but a physical presence on the field. Since stepping onto the college stage, Morrison has been one of the nation’s most productive cornerbacks.

And off the field? He’s just as dynamic. Morrison’s NIL valuation sits at a solid $556K, per ON3, thanks to his high roster value. Heading into the 2024 season, he was ranked as the No. 12 best player in the country, and despite his injury setback, he’s still projected as a first-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. The road to the league isn’t always smooth, but Morrison’s got the skills, the resume, and the upside that NFL teams crave. Now, it’s just a matter of which franchise cashes in on his talent.

What was Benjamin Morrison’s GPA in college?

If you think Benjamin Morrison is just muscle with no brains, let’s check the playbook again. The guy held a 3.3 GPA in high school, balancing books and ball like a true pro. While teams might hesitate due to his hip injury but he bounces back to pre-injury form, someone’s about to pull off the ultimate draft-day heist. Bet on that.
