Blue & Gold’s Lou Somogyi reported on some Notre Dame football jersey number changes for 2016 earlier on Tuesday with Notre Dame’s senior quarterback, Malik Zaire, highlighting the number changes. While Zaire is competing with Deshone Kizer for the starting quarterback position in fall camp, he’ll be doing so with a new jersey number. Here is a quick rundown of all of the jersey changes coming to the Notre Dame roster this fall.
Malik Zaire #9 – Previously #8
As Zaire prepares for a potentially make or break fall camp for his Irish career, he will be doing so wearing a more quarterback friendly number even though his intentions to change numbers had nothing to do with wanting a number with better QB history.
