Florida State football recruiting: 4-star QB Deondre Francois names top five, Seminoles considered favorite
By Jack Crosby
Saturday afternoon, four-star quarterback Deondre Francois named not only his top five schools, but he also gave everyone a time frame as to when he will make his final decision.
Now, although Francois noted that this list is in no particular order, the Florida State Seminoles are considered the favorite among the group to land the services of one of the best quarterbacks available in the 2015 class, according to the 247 Sports crystal ball predictions.

Francois, out of the famed IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida, is the sixth ranked dual-threat quarterback in the nation, according to the 247 Sports composite rankings, as well as the 23rd overall player in the Sunshine State.
With Jameis Winston more than likely departing following the 2014 season for the NFL, the Seminoles and head coach Jimbo Fisher have been hard on the recruiting trail looking to beef up at the position for the future.
The young man’s style certainly fits the offensive scheme that the Seminoles run as, while he has the ability to work on the ground with his legs, he’s more than capable of sitting in the pocket and making the tough throws.
Whatever the case may be, we’ll soon know the decision of one of the best quarterbacks available still in the 2015 class.
