Thomas Castellanos open to returning for college football in 2026

Summary

Former Florida State quarterback Thomas Castellanos expressed interest in returning to college football following a recent court ruling granting additional eligibility to athletes from the 2022 recruiting class. This decision by US District Court Judge Charlotte Sweeney allows Castellanos another chance at collegiate play, as he previously sought an NCAA waiver without success. While multiple programs have shown interest, Castellanos may explore transferring due to increased competition at Florida State, where the Seminoles have signed additional quarterbacks. He has performed at UCF, Boston College, and Florida State during his college career, totaling 6,449 passing yards and 1,984 rushing yards.
