Florida State coach Willie Taggart dismissed starting quarterback Deondre Francois Saturday night, the university announced Sunday, after his girlfriend’s Instagram post reportedly accused Francois of beating her for two years.
Taggart’s statement, released by the university, said “Last night, I informed Deondre Francois that he is no longer a member of the Florida State football program. As we build a new culture and foundation for FSU football, we have high expectations for all of our student-athletes and we will not shy away from those high standards of conduct. We are moving forward as a program.”
