Marlins top prospect Braxton Garrett undergoes Tommy John surgery

GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Former Notre Dame quarterback Malik Zaire says he’s going to Florida.

Zaire announced his decision Tuesday on Instagram with a picture of the Gators logo, saying “Official! I couldn’t be happier to be a part of something special! Time to get to work. (hash)Gators.”

Florida officials can’t comment on prospective student-athletes until they enroll in school and attend class. Summer B session begins Monday, so the Gators could announce something then.

According to a person familiar with Zaire’s transfer, the left-hander has been accepted into graduate school at Florida and is expected to attend classes next week.
