The Florida State Seminoles dismissed freshman quarterback De'Andre Johnson on Monday following a charge of misdemeanor battery stemming from a June 24 incident in which he struck a woman in a bar.Sports Illustrated's Andy Staples obtained an official release from the Seminoles athletic department indicating Florida State head coach Jimbo Fisher announced the decision to dismiss Johnson:ESPN's Mark Schlabach reported June 30 that Johnson faced the battery charge, and theTallahassee Democrat subsequently released video footage of the incident.

Johnson was bound to be dismissed once the disturbing video of his confrontation surfaced, especially with the off-field issues that plagued former FSU star quarterback Jameis Winston.Johnson is enrolled in educational programs on domestic violence and has been apologetic about the incident, according to TMZ.com. It still may not be feasible, though, for the former 3-star recruit to expect a second chance to play NCAA football at the highest level.
