[dropcap]R[/dropcap]eports are circulating that former Notre Dame quarterback Everett Golson will play his final year of college football for Florida State.
Golson, who played in 2014 for the Fighting Irish, announced his decision in a statement made to Fox Sports.
“This past weekend has been a defining moment in my life as I am proud to say I am a graduate of the University of Notre Dame. The support I’ve received there over the past four years has helped strengthen my integrity, wisdom and character. I would like to thank all of the coaches who spent time speaking with me these past few weeks and considered adding me to their football programs. Their interest and sincerity was truly humbling. After much thought and careful consideration, I will utilize my fifth year of eligibility to join the Florida State University Seminoles. To coach Jimbo Fisher, the Florida State football team, staff, alumni and fans, thank you for allowing me to become part of the Seminoles family. I can’t wait to get started.”
In 2014, Golson finished the year with 3,728 total yards and 37 touchdowns, but threw 14 picks and lost eight fumbles for 22 turnovers. Golson lost his starting position to Malik Zaire during Notre Dame’s Music City Bowl win over LSU. This month, Golson earned his degree from the University of Notre Dame.
The Seminoles have likely promised Golson a chance at the starting nod, with the departure of Jameis Winston leaving a hole at the position for Florida State.
