Jameis Winston, quarterback of top-ranked Florida State and the reigning Heisman Trophy winner, was suspended Wednesday for the first half of the Seminoles' home game Saturday night against Clemson after he shouted an obscene statement in public on Florida State's campus Tuesday.
'As a result of his comments yesterday, which were offensive and vulgar, Jameis Winston will undergo internal discipline and will be withheld from competition for the first half of the Clemson game,' Florida State's interim president, Garnett S. Stokes, and Athletic Director Stan Wilcox said in a joint statement.
It is the latest incident involving Winston, who in late 2012 was accused of sexually assaulting a fellow student; prosecutors declined to file charges in that case. In May, he acknowledged stealing $32 worth of crab legs from a supermarket.
