Notre Dame commit Mark Zackery IV has a 100-yard pick six in opener
It’s always great to see Notre Dame football commits playing well on Friday nights before they start to play the majority of their games on Saturdays. 2025 defensive back commit Mark Zackery IV had an unforgettable moment to start his final high school season. The 5-foot, 11-inch, 165-pound corner picked off a pass and raced 100 yards the other way for a score. The in-state corner committed to the Irish in late May, but Notre Dame would have taken a commitment whenever Zackery was ready. He’s one of the country’s best players, ranking as the No. 135 overall prospect on the 247Sports composite. Hmmmm … Mark Zackery 100-yard interception return for TD.
