TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — Florida State says quarterback Deondre Francois is no longer a member of the team.
FSU head coach Willie Taggart said in a statement Sunday that he had notified Francois of his decision the night before.
Taggart's decision to drop Francois from the team comes a day after the quarterback's girlfriend posted a video to Instagram alleging abuse by Francois.
The Tallahassee Democrat reports that the video shows neither Francois nor the girlfriend, but a woman can be heard saying, "Stop hitting me" and "Stop hitting me in my .... face."
A man can be heard saying "I'm going to hit you in your face every ... time."
Taggart says in the statement he is building a new culture for FSU football and that he has high expectations for his players.
