A string of impressive performances early last fall put Everett Golson’s NFL draft stock on a hype train that was traveling full speed ahead. That train derailed down the stretch of the season, however, and left Golson without a starting job at Notre Dame and with a need to improve his play significantly in 2015 in order to re-establish himself as a potential pro quarterback.
Golson, who was benched in favor of then-redshirt freshman Malik Zaire prior to last season’s Music City Bowl against LSU, officially transferred to play at Florida State on Tuesday, as first reported by Fox Sports’ Bruce Feldman and later confirmed by the school.
