Quarterback Riley Leonard and cornerback Benjamin Morrison recently made headlines after rejecting a jaw-dropping $10 million offer from Notre Dame, following a proposal from Tennessee Volunteers . The two standout players, both regarded as future stars in college football, shocked the sports world with their decision to turn down such a substantial financial offer from a prestigious program like Notre Dame.
Sources close to the situation suggest that while the financial compensation was tempting, Leonard and Morrison had other priorities. The Tennessee volunteers’ proposal, which reportedly involved unique opportunities to play in a dynamic program with a strong focus on player development and an emphasis on team culture, seemed to align more with their personal and professional aspirations.
