[naviga:h3]Francois uncle says QB may transfer[/naviga:h3]

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Deondre Francois’ uncle says the former Florida State starting quarterback has entered his name in the NCAA transfer database portal.

Putting his name on the list allows other schools to contact Francois, who was dismissed from the Seminoles football program on Sunday. Head coach Willie Taggart kicked Francois off the team after a social media post included audio of an alleged argument between the quarterback and his girlfriend.

Pat Julmiste, Francois’ uncle, said Tuesday the audio recording is old and that no incident occurred last weekend.

The six-year NFL veteran, who lists a Missouri City address as his residence, was charged with misdemeanor driving while intoxicated and released after posting a $500 cash bond.
