Former Notre Dame quarterback Malik Zaire is reportedly considering transferring to the University of Florida.

Bruce Feldman of Fox Sports reported Tuesday that Zaire is waiting on a potential SEC rule change that could pave the way for his transfer to the Gators.

Zaire is a graduate transfer, which should allow him to play right away under normal circumstances, but Florida presents a unique challenge.

According to Alex Kirshner of SBNation, Florida added two graduate transfers who didn't meet academic benchmarks in 2015, which resulted in the school being banned from having graduate transfers until 2018.
