Notre Dame transfer Everett Golson visited Florida Gators on Tuesday - CBSSports.com
Of course, the problem for Golson in any possible transfer to an SEC school is that the conference will have to give the school a waiver to allow the transfer. When the SEC changed its graduate transfer rule in 2014, it included a provision that banned palyers who had "significant disciplinary issues" at a previous program.

Whoever you are, you could not tackle Willie Wilson at any point from 1971-73. This is because he was bigger than you. This is also because he was faster than you.
