As first reported by the Orlando Sentinel and confirmed by our own internal source, Redshirt-junior quarterback, Deondre Francois, has decided to transfer from Florida State. After obtaining his degree last Saturday; Francois has decided to showcase his ability at another university.
Francois, a graduate transfer, is eligible to play immediately elsewhere and will have no restrictions upon where he ends up. Deondre did well to battle back from a horrific knee injury in 2017, but he was never the right fit in Willie Taggart’s Gulf Coast Offense.
Walt Bell’s departure and a new offensive coordinator coming in would’ve meant learning a third offense in his third year as a starter; an unenviable position for a player in his final year of eligibility.
