According to Pete Sampson of Irish Illustrated, Malik Zaire is expected to be granted his release on Wednesday when he sits down with head coach Brian Kelly. Zaire is scheduled to graduate in December which will allow him to transfer ASAP and not have to sit out a season. We all knew this day would come as soon as DeShone Kizer firmly took ahold of the quarterback position against Texas.
