Everett Demone Golson (born January 2, 1993) is a Canadian football quarterback for the Hamilton Tiger-Cats of the Canadian Football League (CFL). He previously played quarterback for Notre Dame from 2011 to the spring of 2015. Upon his May 2015 graduation from Notre Dame, Golson announced he would transfer to Florida State University for his final year of eligibility.
Golson was born to Way and Cynthia Golson and grew up in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. At Myrtle Beach High School, Golson threw 151 career touchdown passes for the football team, leading them to the AAA state titles in both 2008 and 2010. He also led the basketball team to a state championship in 2008 as a point guard and was named to the all-state team.
Golson originally committed to North Carolina before changing his college choice to Notre Dame.
During the 2011 season, Golson was redshirted as sophomore quarterback Tommy Rees led the Notre Dame Fighting Irish to an 8–5 record.
Coming into the BCS National Championship Game in Miami, Florida, starting quarterback Everett Golson and No. 1 ranked Notre Dame were actually a 10-point underdog—in this game which was played on January 7, 2013. In his first season playing for the Irish, Golson, a redshirt freshman, was considered by some to be a weakness coming into the national championship matchup with perennial powerhouse second-ranked Alabama (12–1) as Notre Dame's strength supposedly existed in its front seven on both sides of the ball—most notable among those linemen, junior Louis Nix III – a 6–3, 340-pound nose guard.
