Football:

Quarterback Deondre Francois has enrolled in spring classes and is still a member of the Florida State football team per 247Sports and confirmed by an FSU spokesperson. It was first reported in December that Francois was leaving the team, but the player later refuted that report on Twitter.

Although Francois is still a member of the Seminoles, for now, a grad transfer could still be in play over the summer. If not, FSU will return a player that started at QB for nearly all of the 2018 season.

Did Clemson defender Clelin Ferrell take a shot at Willie Taggart on Monday night? Our own Perry Kostidakis explains why that wasn’t the case.

However, the Tigers did accomplish something that hadn’t been done in 5 years.

CBSSports.com’s latest mock draft has Brian Burns going to the New York Jets who hold the 3rd overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft.

DailyPress.com writer David Teel argues that the only possible challengers to 2018 Clemson’s throne as the best team in ACC football history are 1999 and 2013 FSU.

Looks like a former ’Nole quarterback may be getting a fresh start out West.

Recruiting:

Speaking of QBs, FSU offered one from the class of 2020 on Tuesday. Greg Spann, from Lakewood High in Saint Petersburg, FL, let it be known via Twitter yesterday.

Florida State also offered 4-star offensive tackle Issiah Walker from Norland High School in Miami, FL on Tuesday. Walker is a 2020 recruit and currently committed to South Carolina.

Additionally, the staff extended an offer to 2020 receiver Thaiu Jones-Bell from Miami Carol City High in Opa Locka, FL.

2020 4-star OLB Phillip Webb, from Buford, GA, also received an offer.

Another GA prospect, 2021 ATH David Daniel, got his offer to be a Seminole yesterday, as well.
