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

Cincinnati Bearcats key target and 2025 4-star defensive back Mark Zackery IV committed to attend Notre Dame on Saturday afternoon.

Notre Dame was projected to land Zackery but Cincinnati was still under serious consideration along with fellow finalists Florida and Michigan.

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

Zackery is the highest rated 2025 recruit from the state of Indiana and 7th ranked cornerback out of the 2025 class according to 247 Sports.

Scott Satterfield's coaching staff will continue to target him going forward but Herron is projected to commit to Iowa according to On3 Recruiting.
