Competition

Morrissey is considered the top center in the Atlantic Coast Conference and a highly viable 2021 NFL Draft prospect. He was named All-ACC first team in 2019-20, a year after earning third-team honors in 2018-19. Morrissey was named a preseason Phil Steele All-American and candidate for the Rimington Trophy, presented to college football’s top center.
