While the Notre Dame football program waits to bolster the wide receiver position in the 2025 cycle, four-star cornerback Mark Zackery continues to prove he’s capable of playing offense at the next level. On Friday, the Indianapolis Ben Davis senior charted the fourth 100-yard receiving game within the last two seasons.
