Graduate transfer quarterback Malik Zaire is coming to Florida. Zaire announced on his Instagram account on Tuesday he’s headed to UF.

“Official, I couldn’t be happier to be a part of something special!!!! Time to get to work!!!!,” Zaire wrote.

Florida officials say they could not confirm Zaire’s signing until he’s enrolled in and attends class. The Summer B session starts next Monday.

The 6-foot, 225-pound Zaire appeared in 15 games in three seasons at Notre Dame, passing for 816 yards with 6 TDs and no interceptions.

Zaire will join a crowded quarterback competition at UF that includes redshirt freshman Feleipe Franks, redshirt freshman Kyle Trask, redshirt junior Luke Del Rio and incoming freshman Jake Allen.
