On Saturday, Ben Davis standout cornerback Mark Zackery committed to Notre Dame football. One of the top prospects in the Midwest, Zackery is the 12th Indianapolis-area player in the past 15 years to pick the Fighting Irish in recruiting.

Tanona suffered a concussion in a serious car accident before 2022 spring practice. The injury kept him out for two seasons and even forced him to medically retire. He’s since unretired and transferred to Purdue.
A U.S. Army All-American and one of the top offensive line prospects in the country, ranked No. 52 in the nation on the 247sports composite. The three-year starter was part of Orioles’ teams that went 23-9 and won a sectional title….
