It’s not just current Notre Dame football players getting preseason recognition, some of the recruits are as well.
MaxPreps announced its 2024 preseason All-America team and two Irish commits made the cut. On the first-team offense is [autotag]Dallas Golden[/autotag], listed as the first team all-purpose player. Zack Poff, who complied the list, noted that the two-way star accounted for “1,800-plus total yards and 24 touchdowns to go with five interceptions on defense.” He’s been recruited as a defensive back.
The second Notre Dame commit that made the list is another all-purpose player in [autotag]Mark Zackery IV[/autotag], but on the second team. He’s also committed to the Irish as a defensive back, where he picked off four passes, but also had “53 receptions for 823 yards and eight touchdowns on offense,” Poff pointed out.

There is potential for a third, as uncommitted linebacker Nathaniel Owusu-Boateng had the second team defense. It’s hard to get a read on his recruitment since summer visits, but we know that Notre Dame is still an option for Jeremiah Owusu-Koromoah’s younger brother.
