There aren’t many better schools to play secondary in college football aside from Notre Dame.

The list of past and current stars roaming the back-end of the defense is long, but the need to add other is always there. One of those upcoming targets is 2024 North Carolina safety Malcolm Ziglar, who was offered a scholarship by the Irish.

The 6-foot, 2-inch and 198 pound safety is one of the best in the country, rated as the 25th best safety and 279th overall player according to the 247Sports composite.

Ziglar is also a track star along with his exploits on the gridiron. During his junior season, the athlete played both ways but will end up defense when he arrives on a college campus.

The speed, skills and length have made Ziglar a wanted prospect among college programs and now that Notre Dame has entered the picture, you have to think they’ll be a player in his recruitment.
