Despite Shane Buechele and Sam Ehlinger battling for the quarterback job for Texas Football, the program has searched for outside help at the position, which was amplified after Matthew Merrick retired from football. They reached out to Brandon Harris, who spurned them for North Carolina. So, things were seemingly left status quo, right?
Well, not quite. Horns Digest is reporting Texas has shown interest in former Notre Dame quarterback Malik Zaire. He left the program after the 2016 college football season as a graduate transfer.
Zaire was once a highly touted player for Notre Dame, but had trouble staying on the field.
