It appears that the love between former Notre Dame quarterback Malik Zaire and the Florida Gators is more than a rumor.
After it was reported last week that Zaire and the Gators had a mutual interest in making Gainesville his next home, the future transfer’s Instagram account seems to back that report:

In an age of social media dominance, it’s easy to jump to conclusions about athletes’ personal lives based on their public sharing. Still, it would make little sense for a neutral fan, let alone a rival player to follow that many players on a random team.
As stated in the above report, the biggest hurdle that Zaire has to cross is the SEC’s transfer policy. If that kink gets ironed out before the season, signs are pointing toward Zaire’s interest in being the Gators’ next starting QB.
