This news comes after Francois was going to attempt to walk-on at Florida Atlantic back in May, but nothing ever materialized.
Francois' dismissal stems from a domestic violence incident, as his ex-girlfriend posted on Instagram that he abused her. Francois was not charged with a crime, but in April he was cited for a misdemeanor possession of marijuana.
