GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Florida quarterback Malik Zaire strolled into the conference room and started looking for his seat.
It was relatively easy to find. After all, it was the only one surrounded by television cameras and reporters.
Zaire was the main attraction at the team's annual media day Wednesday, talking publicly for the first time since transferring from Notre Dame to Florida and becoming the trendy pick to be coach Jim McElwain's fifth starting quarterback in three seasons.
Zaire spent an hour fielding questions about his past, present and future. He was poised, energetic, entertaining and ultra-confident — traits the Gators surely could use at the QB position and on the field.
