DeShone Kizer is trying to get out of the friend zone with an NBA player’s ex-girlfriend, and the sports blog world isn’t helping the Notre Dame quarterback’s cause.
Kizer posted a photo on Instagram over the weekend that showed him hanging out with Taylor Anderson, who used to date Philadelphia 76ers guard Nik Stauskas. He captioned the image “Touchdown Irish.”
The folks at Barstool Sports helped send the photo viral, noting that life as a starting quarterback for the Irish is treating Kizer pretty well. Kizer had a hilarious response:
.@barstoolsports still trying to audible outta the friend zone here and you're not helpin bro..

Hey, a high schooler once got to take Anderson to prom because he got so many retweets, so Kizer should have a pretty good shot. Even Chris Collinsworth tried to help the guy out:

You gotta love the fact that Kizer isn’t hiding his intentions. In an era where athletes constantly embarrass themselves on social media, it’s better to just be honest. For more photos of the lady Kizer is supposedly chasing, head over here.
