Everett Golson Announces Intention to Transfer From Notre Dame

One of the mysteries of the college football season has now been solved. Is Notre Dame going to start Malik Zaire or Everett Golson next season? Or will they go with a two-QB system? Well--it appears that the job is going to be Zaire's. How do we know this?

Golson has decided to go ahead and transfer to another school for his final season.

Golson made the announcement Thursday afternoon:

"After much thought, prayer and discussion with my family, I have decided that it is in my best interest to graduate from Notre Dame and transfer to another school effective immediately," Golson said.

"I would like to thank everyone at Notre Dame for the opportunity to compete at the highest level of college football, but most importantly to obtain my degree from one of the finest universities in the country. To all the Fighting Irish fans I want to thank you for your support over the past four years and let you know I truly love Notre Dame! To my former teammates, who I will miss tremendously, I wish much success in the future and will be your biggest fan from afar.

"I will have no further comment at this time and ask that you respect my time as I figure out this life changing moment. God has a plan for each of us and I ask for your prayers as I move forward in this new journey in my life!"

The move has been expected. Since he already has his degree from the University he can transfer and be eligible to play immediately. The question will be where he is going to end up. While he did play well at times and is a capable passer and a running threat he struggled with interceptions at times last season.

What will entice colleges in need of a quarterback is his leadership potential. Golson did guide the Notre Dame offense to a BCS Title game a few years ago. That big game experience paired with a good QB coach could result in a good one-year marriage for Golson and whoever he signs with.
