He's in another QB Derby this year.
Also, I didn't realize he might have 2 years of eligibility left.

While I wish him well this year at Florida and hope he can be UM and Bama, no way would I like to see him get a 6th year for a broken ankle. You know he wouldn't get one at ND. How many requests more worthy then his have we had turned down in the past. Now if he goes down early this year, then fine. Give him a 6th.
When Zaire initially went down in 2015 there was even some talk on ND sites that Zaire could potentially apply for a 6th year because the injury took place in the 2nd game of the year so it could qualify for a medical hardship. Without another injury though, the chances are slim to none that it would ever get approved by the NCAA.
I don't think getting hurt in the 2nd game of the year warrants getting 6 years. But the NCAA is wildly inconsistent on things like this.
If Zaire got hurt between now and the season it is a different story.

If they granted him a medical hardship year because of his breaking an ankle in 2015, he could have another year.
