When Jameis Winston decided to enter the 2015 NFL Draft during the spring, the thought was that all of the controversy that had swirled around the Florida State football program during Winston's time with the team would finally die down. But unfortunately, it doesn't sound like that's going to be the case.

According to ESPN reporter Mark Schlabach, FSU quarterback De'Andre Johnson—who was expected to serve as the Seminoles' third-string QB behind Sean Maguire and Everett Golson next season—was involved in a dispute with a woman at a bar in Tallahassee, Fla. on Wednesday night that ended with him punching the woman in the face. Sources told Schlabach that the woman cut in front of Johnson while they were both waiting in line for drinks and that Johnson responded by striking the woman. It doesn't sound like any criminal charges have been filed yet, but FSU head coach Jimbo Fisher suspended Johnson indefinitely for his alleged role in the incident.

Stay tuned for further details.
