Malik Zaire will make his second career start for the Florida Gators when they hit the road this week to take on South Carolina.
Shannon left the starting position pending immediately following the game but announced Monday that Zaire would start his second straight game.
“Still Malik. He didn’t do anything to hurt us. He did a nice job of getting the ball down the field, making some throws and doing some certain things,” Shannon said Monday. “We just have to build on what he’s done and just keep moving forward.”
In his first start of the season Zaire completes 13-of-19 passes for 158 yards.
