Notre Dame freshman DB shines in expanded role for Fighting Irish defense

While there was plenty to be frustrated about after the Notre Dame football team's less-than-impressive win over Boston College, Mark Zackery IV stood out as a big positive.

The freshman defensive back saw the most action he has all year on Saturday afternoon, filling in for injured Christian Gray. In the process, the true freshman corner showed up and showed out as so many other young DBs have done in the last few years, especially for the Fighting Irish.
