“I can’t take all the credit, God played a big role in it. I could’ve gone to any school and been redshirted, all of that. But He put me at Notre Dame for a reason.” This is what 21-year-old Notre Dame cornerback Benjamin Morrison said when he was asked about his success so far. The college football player is an overachiever at the age of 21, but he’s hungry enough to hit the NFL stadiums in the NFL drafts in 2025.

The Leesburg, Virginia-born beast has been hitting the college football gridiron since the 2022 season. This was the same year he was named Freshman All-American after completing high school at Brophy Prep in Phoenix, Arizona. And this was the place where all the build-up started. And actually he follows what his father did. Darryl Morrison, father of Benjamin Morrison, has played in the NFL for Washington Redskins. The 21-year-old star has yet to earn more in his life, but within three years, he has made a name in the football world. This forces fans to search more about the cornerback. And two of the most googled queries for Morrison are his ethnicity and religion.

What is Benjamin Morrison’s religion?

Benjamin Morrison is Christian by religion; in fact, his father has been a pastor for years. However, there is no clear evidence that says Benjamin is Catholic or not. But talking about religion, 6 to 7 months ago, the 6-foot Notre Dame cornerback said, “I just think as a young Christian man, I’m called for more. I’m called to live more. Called to live differently, and I think my parents did a good job instilling that at a young age.” He also added, “I think God’s more proud of people who try to acknowledge their mistakes instead of hiding their mistakes.” If we look closer at Benjamin Morrison’s life, he is simple and believes tremendously in Go,d and also mentions Jesus Christ multiple times while showing gratitude. 

And that’s what gives him energy and also peace to scare the hell out of the opponent’s offense. Throughout his college career, he has scored one touchdown despite making 84 total tackles. And out of his tackles, the 2024 Notre Dame team’s captain has made 61 solo tackles, while the remaining 23 were assists. 

What is Benjamin Morrison’s ethnicity?

“It’s really cool to give to the community that gave me so much. I want to continue to do this and pour into these kids. Hopefully, the next All-America, the next star is out there,” Morrison said while talking about the community work he does every month and year. And per the resources, Benjamin Morrison is of White/Caucasian ethnicity. 

His mom also praises the football prodigy for doing community work at Notre Dame. JoAnn Morrison once said in June 2024. “It’s very special. He’s able to give back to the community that has given him so much.” Hope the young cornerback grows more. But for now, all eyes will be on the NFL Draft 2025 for Benjamin Morrison. Let’s see which team picks him up.
