Notre Dame quarterback Everett Golson, who played against LSU less than a week ago, is interested in becoming a Tiger. The senior, who is scheduled to graduate in May, has reached out to LSU about transferring there for his final season of NCAA eligibility.

Golson, who helped the Irish to a 31-28 victory against LSU in the Music City Bowl, could join the Tigers with immediate eligibility for the 2015 season. The SEC lifted its ban on allowing graduate transfer students last May. Golson would have one season of eligibility.

LSU is exploring the possibility but would have to obtain a waiver from the conference office since Golson was declared academically ineligible for the 2013 season. The SEC rule allows graduate student transfers without waivers if the student maintained eligibility, had no significant disciplinary issues at the old school and earned all possible APR points.

Graduate transfers are required to make progress toward a graduate degree, otherwise the school won't be able to apply the grad-student exception in that athlete's sport for three years.

Golson, a 6-foot, 200-pounder from Myrtle Beach, S.C., led Notre Dame to the 2013 BCS championship game after the 2012 season where the Irish lost to Alabama, 42-14. After sitting out 2012 he passed for 256 of 427 passes for 3,445 yards and 29 touchdowns with 14 interceptions in 2014.

He started the Irish's first 12 games but was replaced as starter by sophomore Malik Zaire against LSU in the Music City Bowl. Golson played in the game and completed six of 11 passes for 90 yards.

BATON ROUGE, LA (WAFB) -

According to sources, there is a likely scenario that two-time Big 10 MVP Braxton Miller could be leaving Ohio State to play for LSU.

The starting quarterback for the Buckeyes, who has been replaced by two younger backups on their way to Monday night's national championship game, has already graduated.

Despite a shoulder injury that sidelined him this season, Miller would be eligible to play for the Tigers or another major power right away.

Miller would definitely be the better pickup all around better then Golson.
