Ball State’s Mark Zackery Brings a Blue-Collar Interior Edge
Mark Zackery is a veteran Ball State defensive tackle whose calling card has been disruption: in the 2001 season, he logged six tackles, two sacks, and a pass breakup in a key win, and Ball State’s 2000 spring recap listed him among the team sack leaders with three. He looks like a fit for teams that value leverage, effort, and interior pressure over flash. The main caveat is that the available public stat trail is dated, so the best read is that he was a productive, hard-nosed rotational force rather than a pure headline-grabber.
