Notre Dame quarterback Malik Zaire is expected to meet with head coach Brian Kelly and get his release to pursue a graduate transfer, according to Pete Sampson of Irish Illustrated on Scout.com.
After the Irish loss to Instagram, Zaire wrote on Instagram: ”God has given me a journey so unique and so different that Im nothing but blessed & greatful. Answering the call of greatness takes [time]. #ThxND #IrishForever #NextMoveMyBestMove #ComingForEverything.”
Zaire was the starting quarterback for Notre Dame's season-opener against Texas in 2015 and then suffered a season-ending injury against Virginia. He returned in 2016 but served as a backup for DeShone Kizer.
