Everett Golson has transferred from Notre Dame to Florida State for his final season in college.

"After much thought and careful consideration, I will utilize my fifth year of eligibility to join the Florida State University Seminoles," Golson said in a statement Tuesday. "To Coach Jimbo Fisher, the Florida State football team, staff, alumni and fans, thank you for allowing me to become part of the Seminoles family."

Golson, who announced his intentions to leave Notre Dame on May 7, had visited Florida State, Florida and Georgia last week before returning to Notre Dame for graduation Sunday.
