NOTRE DAME FOOTBALL SECURES COMMITMENT FROM 2025 RIVALS250 CB MARK ZACKERY
In a significant recruiting coup, the Notre Dame Fighting Irish football program has secured a commitment from 2025 Rivals250 cornerback Mark Zackery. This latest addition to the Irish recruiting class is expected to bolster the team’s defensive secondary and provide a significant boost to their national championship aspirations.
Zackery, a highly touted cornerback prospect, chose Notre Dame over several other top-tier programs, including Ohio State, Alabama, and Georgia. His commitment to the Irish is a testament to the program’s reputation for developing elite defensive talent and providing a world-class education.
“I’m extremely excited to announce my commitment to the University of Notre Dame,” Zackery said in a statement. “The Irish coaching staff, led by Coach Marcus Freeman, has shown me a clear vision for my development as a player and a person. I’m looking forward to being part of a program with such rich tradition and history.”
Zackery’s commitment to Notre Dame is significant, given his impressive athletic credentials. A 4-star prospect, Zackery is ranked as the No. 15 cornerback in the 2025 recruiting class, according to Rivals. He boasts a impressive combination of speed, agility, and ball-hawking skills, making him an ideal fit for the Irish secondary.
“Mark is an exceptional cornerback prospect with all the physical tools to excel at the next level,” said Rivals recruiting analyst, Mike Farrell. “He’s got the speed, quickness, and agility to stay with even the fastest receivers. Notre Dame is getting a top-notch player who can make an immediate impact in their secondary.”
Zackery’s commitment to Notre Dame is also a testament to the program’s strong recruiting efforts under Coach Marcus Freeman. Since taking over as head coach, Freeman has prioritized building a strong defensive unit, and Zackery’s commitment is a significant step in that direction.
“Mark is a talented young player who fits our defensive scheme perfectly,” said Coach Freeman. “We’re excited to have him join our program and contribute to our team’s success. He’s got a bright future ahead of him, and we’re looking forward to helping him reach his full potential.”
With Zackery’s commitment, Notre Dame’s 2025 recruiting class continues to take shape. The Irish have already secured commitments from several other top prospects, including 4-star quarterback, Dylan Raiola, and 4-star wide receiver, Cam Williams.
As the recruiting landscape continues to evolve, Notre Dame’s commitment to building a strong defensive unit has become increasingly clear. With Mark Zackery on board, the Irish secondary is poised to become one of the nation’s best, providing a solid foundation for the team’s championship aspirations.
