On Tuesday, it became official that former Notre Dame quarterback Everett Golson will transfer to Florida State, effective immediately, to complete his college eligbility on the field. The news was first reported by FoxSports.com's Bruce Feldman.

Golson, who graduated from Notre Dame this weekend, will be immediately eligible to contribute on the field for the Seminoles during the 2015 season. 247Sports reported last week the Seminoles had emerged as the frontrunner.

The 6-foot, 200-pound senior arrives at Florida State with a great deal of experience from his time with the Irish.

He was the starter for the Irish during the 2012 and 2014 seasons. Over those two seasons, he has accumulated 5,850 passing yards and 41 touchdowns. He has also thrown 20 interceptions. He also has 208 career rushes for 581 yards and 14 touchdowns.

He helped to lead Notre Dame to the 2012 BCS Championship Game, which they lost to Alabama.

His career with the Irish also included some difficult times. He sat out the 2013 season due to academic dishonesty. He earned his way back onto the team and earned his starting job back as well in 2014. He and the Irish got off to a good start, but struggled over the final several weeks of the regular season. The bowl game saw Golson split duties with junior Malik Zaire, who started.

He chose the Seminoles from a list of reportedly 10 schools. The list include Alabama, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina and more. He visited the Gators and Bulldogs, as well as the Seminoles, before making his decision.
