Former Clemson offensive lineman Jake Fruhmorgen and former Notre Dame QB Malik Zaire are enrolled and official, UF announced.
Fruhmorgen, a junior from Tampa, will major in history, while Zaire, a Kettering, Ohio product, has enrolled in UF’s mass communications graduate program. Fruhmorgen will sit out the 2017 season due to NCAA transfer rules but Zaire, who studied television studies, within the film, television and theatre department at Notre Dame, will be eligible to play this fall.
Also starting classes Monday were 17 of the 18 true freshmen who were not early enrollees in the spring. James Robinson, a four-star wide receiver from Lakeland, is still waiting to be cleared academically before he can enroll.
UF coach Jim McElwain will not comment on any roster changes until SEC Media Days next month in Hoover, Ala.
