NOTRE DAME, Ind. -- Former Irish Quarterback Everett Golson is still on track to return to the university and to the gridiron.

Coach Brian Kelly was scheduled to meet with Golson in South Carolina Monday.

He could start practicing with the team as early as December 21st assuming he is allowed back into the university.

"He's going to be so much more committed to being a better student, more committed to everything that he does. I think that's going to be a better quarterback at Notre Dame," said Coach Kelly.

Golson reapplied to Notre Dame after he was suspended in the spring.

In an interview with Sports Illustrated he admitted to cheating on a test.
