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.



Cont....

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.
