Tommy Castellanos receives fifth year of eligibility from Kentucky court

Summary

Former Florida State quarterback Tommy Castellanos has been granted a fifth season of eligibility following a ruling from a Kentucky judge. The decision results from a prolonged legal effort since the end of the 2025 season with the Seminoles. Castellanos intends to enter the transfer portal, as a return to FSU seems unlikely due to their quarterback plans. He had a standout 2025 season, throwing for 2,760 yards and 15 touchdowns. Castellanos may transition to a new role as a wide receiver to enhance his prospects for the next NFL preseason.
