Florida State sophomore quarterback Jameis Winston told NFL.com that
he intends to graduate rather than leave school early for the pros.
Winston's comments were similar to those made recently by his
father, Antonor, who told AL.com that the family expects him to stay
at Florida State for at least two more seasons.
Winston, the reigning Heisman Trophy winner, has three years of
eligibility but could graduate in two years.
Winston led the Seminoles to a national title last year as a
redshirt freshman. He threw for 4,057 yards with 40 touchdowns and
ran for 219 yards with four rushing TDs.
