If all had gone as planned, Malik Zaire would be in South Bend, Indiana, preparing for his fifth year as a Notre Dame quarterback. Things don't always go as planned, though, and Zaire has found himself training in Arizona, preparing for the next chapter in his college football career.
After announcing he was leaving Notre Dame to pursue a graduate transfer, Zaire had been stuck in somewhat of a college football purgatory, trying to figure out his next landing spot. It is expected that Florida will be his new home for the next season, but he was in flux for nearly six months without a school to attend.
