To add insult to injury for USC, Golson could end up at another SEC school. If he is granted his release by USC, which is probable, he will visit Arkansas this weekend. S.C. State, Illinois, Maryland and Louisville also are interested.

The USC coaching staff would like Golson to attend a prep school and enroll at USC in January. Wilson said that is still a possibility but right now Golson is going to look at his other options to play right away.
