Notre Dame cornerback Benjamin Morrison will miss the rest of the season with a hip injury that requires surgery.

Fighting Irish head coach Marcus Freeman confirmed the prognosis for the standout junior on Monday.

Morrison sustained the injury during Notre Dame's 49-17 victory against Stanford on Saturday.

Through six games this season, he had 20 tackles and four passes defensed.

Morrison intercepted nine passes in his first two seasons in South Bend and had been projected as a potential first-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.

The 12th-ranked Fighting Irish (5-1) return to action against Georgia Tech (5-2) on Saturday in Atlanta.
