Notre Dame quarterback, DeShone Kizer, has yet to announce whether or not he will enter the 2017 NFL draft. Although many believe he’s going to be a top five pick next year, experts warn the junior that his game can use another season in the NCAA.
Malik Zaire, on the other hand, is in a totally different boat. After suffering a season-ending knee injury in Week 2 of 2015, Zaire lost his starting job to DeShone Kizer. In 2016, head coach Brian Kelly tried a duel quarterback system, only to name Kizer the starter in Week 3.
On Wednesday, November 30, Zaire was officially released by Notre Dame and eligible to transfer to another school for his final year of eligibility.
