The most surprising player for Notre Dame football in 2022
Every year, teams have players who weren’t projected to be top contributors break barriers and put themselves high up on depth charts. Notre Dame had a couple key ones who fit that billing in 2022.
Here are the choices of two BlueandGold.com writers for the title of Notre Dame’s most surprising player this season.
Tyler Horka: Benjamin Morrison is the one we didn’t see coming
If any of the class of 2022 defensive backs were going to break out for the Fighting Irish this fall, everyone was adamant it was going to be Jaden Mickey, the highest ranked of Notre Dame’s three signees in the secondary.
None of the three were guaranteed any sort of playing time whatsoever.
Notre Dame has a veteran corps of defensive backs, from graduate student TaRiq Bracy, senior Cam Hart and junior Clarence Lewis at cornerback to graduate students DJ Brown and Houston Griffith and senior Brandon Joseph at safety.
The Irish were solid on the back end, too, ranking a respectable 21st in passing defense through the end of the regular season. True freshman Benjamin Morrison played a major role in garnering that statistic.
