4-star target for 2025: Mark Zackery IV commits to Notre Dame

Mark Zackery IV, the Cincinnati Bearcats' top target and 4-star defensive back for 2025, has committed to attend Notre Dame on Saturday afternoon.

Notre Dame was expected to sign Zackery, but Cincinnati was still seriously considered along with fellow finalists Florida and Michigan.

The Ben Davis High School product would have been a great addition to the Bearcats' upcoming class before he decided to commit elsewhere.

Zackery is the highest-rated 2025 recruit from the state of Indiana and the seventh-best cornerback in the 2025 class according to 247 Sports.
