It’s not uncommon for Notre Dame athletes to play two sports, and Monday was a perfect example of that as the football and lacrosse star Jordan Faison helped the Irish win a national title.
Luminous names like Jeff Samardzija It is Cole Kmet played football and baseball, and Notre Dame’s newest football commit could follow in their paths. Indianapolis Cornerback Mark Zackery verbalized to the Irish on Saturday, but few know he could also play basketball at the next level.
It was reported by Notre Dame Hoops Recruits that Zackery and basketball coach Micah Schrewsberry have also been in communication about playing on the field.
MBB: Mark Zackery is also the PG on the high school basketball team. I’ve been talking to @Coach_Shrews about playing both in ND. Read elsewhere that he received an offer from Butler. https://t.co/hPQo3rMSNE

It remains to be seen if Zackery will actually play both in South Bend, but it tells us what a great athlete he is.
