Everett Golson has had a rough ride at Notre Dame, and it’s a ride that has come to an end with news that he’s transferring to a different school. 

When Notre Dame started Everett Golson back in 2013, they didn’t know what would lie ahead in terms of everything that would happen that season. Golson was supposed to lead the Irish to the National Championship Game — and they ended up getting there but without his help.

An academic suspension kept him off the field for most of the season, and he didn’t recover from it and now his career at Notre Dame has whimpered to an end.

After wondering about his future as quarterback at Notre Dame and considering the draft stock hit he’d be taking by staying, Everett Golson has decided to transfer from Notre Dame and will head to a different school.

The next question is where will he go, as there has been a large interest in big school quarterbacks throughout college football, thanks in large part to Braxton Miller shopping his talents around like it’s free agency or something.

Transferring is as close to free agency as college football gets, and when a big name like Golson hits the transfer market, then there’s naturally going to be some interest.

Duke, Florida State and other schools showed an interest in bringing in Braxton Miller, and the question now is will they have interest in Golson? They’re not the same player, but there are similar traits in their game and there’s a lot to love about Golson’s ability and his potential.

There’s also the possibility of this going to a JUCO school or to a second-tier school to play out his college days before entering the draft. Right now, Golson isn’t setting anyone one fire and isn’t very high in the draft projections for 2016, but if he can transfer into the right situation and excel, he could end up being a guy who raises his stock to levels that makes him a higher draft pick than he’d be at the moment.
