How Notre Dame commits performed in Week 11 of high school
A slow start to the 2024 season for Indianapolis Ben Davis has not slowed down Notre Dame commit Mark Zackery . The four-star cornerback shined again Friday night, scoring two touchdowns and picking off two passes to lead the Giants to a first-round playoff victory.
Each week during this high school football season, Blue & Gold reports on how each Notre Dame Fighting Irish commit and their teams perform. In addition to Zackery, seven pledges played in postseason games in Week 11.
