Report: Florida State Quarterback Deondre Francois Facing Misdemeanor Marijuana Charge

Florida State quarterback Deondre Francois is reportedly facing a misdemeanor marijuana charge, according to the Tallahassee Democrat.

The quarterback was given a notice to appear in court and faces a charge of possessing fewer than 20 grams of marijuana.

"We are aware of the situation and it is being handled internally," coach Willie Taggart told the Democrat.

The Seminoles have a spring game in two days, which Francois was not expected to play in as he is recovering from a knee injury.

Francois tore his left patella tendon in the first game of the 2017 season against Alabama, missing the remainder of the season.
