Myrtle Beach Sun News
Everest for Everett
Whatever he chooses, prodigious freshman Golson is bound for the top
By Josh Hoke - The Sun News
From football to basketball, from writing to playing the bass, Myrtle Beach High School's Everett Golson is a freshman of many talents.
At recess on the first day of the 1999 school year, Everett Golson, a scrawny first grader, flashed his bright smile, an electric personality and a rocket right arm on the school yard at Myrtle Beach Primary School.
"We took a football outside," said Carey MacAulay-Schild, who taught Myrtle Beach's freshman quarterback that year. "I had never seen a 6-year-old throw a spiral like that. I told my husband I had a kid that could win the Heisman Trophy."
Golson may have to wait a few more years to strike the pose, but he is well on his way.
His meteoric rise from projected junior varsity quarterback to Friday night star has been the storyline of the 2007 season. He has surpassed expectations and been nearly flawless en route to Myrtle Beach's 7-0 start.

Quote:
Ohio State, Florida State, Louisville, Michigan State and Virginia Tech are already showing significant interest. Clemson and South Carolina called Earley this week and announced their intentions to recruit Golson, who carries a 3.5 grade-point average.
"It blows my mind I'm sending out film on a 14-year-old," Earley said. "I think what the big guys want to know is how tall will he get and how big will he get?"
Earley said Virginia Tech coach Frank Beamer watched Golson, then an eighth grader, throw for an hour and a half during spring practice. He told Earley that Golson is better at this point in his career than Michael Vick, the only freshman to ever receive a scholarship offer from the Hokies.
"He told me 'We'll be back next year to get him,'" Earley said.

My Take:
I don't need to see Rivals film on this one...every compliment in that article is true. He has uncanny pocket presence, a lightning quick release, a powerful arm, and above all, he is tough as nails. He does not get rattled and is in time, on time, every time with his throws. I was very impressed with him.

Speed is good but not blazing...more quickness than speed. His leadership skills are obvious...he replaced a Senior 2 year starter who was getting D1AA attention...yet the team looks to him and responds to him.

Impressive. He guns it into pretty tight spots even on the run.
I really can't remember the last time we got a recruit from SC. Grad or anyone, who was the last?
Based upon that, I would say we probably have no shot at him. However, I think that OSU is uniquely positioned to potentially become the premier destination for athletic quarterbacks who are also talented passers and who want to develop into NFL QBs. To do so, we will need for Troy to make an impact in the NFL. And we will need for Terrelle Pryor to be a star in college and a high draft pick in the NFL. Neither of these seem far fetched. SC has carved out a niche with tall, immobile pocket passers with Palmer and Leinart. Other schools, like WVU and Oregon, have shown that they can make athletic QBs into college stars, but haven't shown that they can turn guys into NFL QBs. If OSU can start to consistently get big time QB recruits, like they do LBs, DBs, WRs, etc., we could be tough to beat for a long time. |
