Former Notre Dame quarterback Everett Golson's visit to Florida continued Tuesday about 150 miles southeast of Tallahassee. Golson visited Florida a day after he was at Florida State, Sports Illustrated's Andy Staples reported Tuesday.

Golson, who notified Notre Dame of his intention to transfer May 7, would need a waiver in order to have his transfer to an SEC school approved. The rule isn't impossible to find a way past for the the Myrtle Beach, S.C., native, though. Staples writes:

"When the league revised its graduate transfer rule in 2014 to allow players with one year of eligibility remaining to transfer and play immediately, it included language in the rule that banned players who had “significant disciplinary issues” at the previous program. Such players can still transfer to an SEC school if they receive a waiver from the league office.

Golson could qualify for such a waiver because the spirit of the rule was designed to eliminate players who were running away from disciplinary action. It was instituted because league officials were embarrassed when Ole Miss used the rule in 2010 to take quarterback Jeremiah Masoli, who had been kicked off the team at Oregon during that off-season. Golson is not running from a suspension. He served his punishment and then returned to the school that punished him."

Makes sense......plus he graduated after the ND suspension.

Florida needs a QB far more than Florida State. On the other hand, FSU has a much stronger team than UF and Coach Jimbo Fisher has sent a lot of QB's to the Pro's.

And Coach Fisher said "you never promise any player he will be a starter" so it will be interesting to see how all of this plays out. Heck, that's only 2 schools and there are 10 on Golson's list.

It would be interesting to listen in on Golson's interview with Steve Spurrier considering Golson doesn't exactly do well with yeller's and screamer's! I'm surprised the "Ole Bawl Coach" actually made Golson's cut! Bwahahahahah!

Tune in next week as the Golson Transfer Saga continues. Goodbye Notre Dame,..............Hello......?????

In reality Florida is a better fit because they have greater needs at QB. However, their OL is a huge question mark and offensive depth is a serious issue.

FSU is in reload mode on offense and stacked at receiver and RB. Florida is in rebuild mode and offensive talent and depth continues to be a question mark.

The biggest advantage FSU has with Golson is Jimbo and his proven ability to develop players at the college level. Especially when it comes to coaching QB's.



That said there are questions regarding FSU's OL too. They replace 4 OL starters this year but there is talent returning.
