Malik Zaire, the one-time starting quarterback for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, seems in no rush to announce where he’ll pursue his graduate year.
The 22-year-old, who earned a Bachelor of Arts degree, is reportedly down to two teams: the Texas Longhorns and an undisclosed second team thought to be either the Florida Gators, Wisconsin Badgers or the Harvard Crimson.
Zaire told the Dayton Daily News Friday that he’s “just waiting for some things to finalize.”
I’ll echo the majority opinion and speculate the Kettering, Ohio product is waiting to see if the Southeastern Conference relaxes its graduate transfer rule during its spring meeting, which starts Thursday in Destin, Fla.
