Golson Will Transfer to Florida State

Tuesday, May 19

Bruce Feldman of Fox Sports passed along comments from Golson that he will transfer to Florida State. 

Golson made the decision to leave on May 7, issuing a statement on his desire to transfer, via Bruce Feldman of Fox Sports:

"

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.

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!

"

Golson is coming off a season that saw him throw for 3,445 yards, 29 touchdowns and 14 interceptions. He also rushed for 283 yards and eight more scores. Still, Dan Wolken of USA Today thinks Golson has as many question marks as he has talent:

Indeed, in Notre Dame's four straight losses to end the team's regular season, Golson threw for seven touchdowns and seven interceptions, including four interceptions against Arizona State and a 7-of-18 performance for 75 yards, no touchdowns and a pick against USC.
