Tommy Castellanos seeks college football return after eligibility boost
Summary

Former Florida State quarterback Tommy Castellanos is exploring a return to college football following a recent legal ruling that grants him an extra year of eligibility. A Colorado judge issued an injunction against the NCAA, permitting the Class of 2022 to benefit from this extended eligibility due to their exclusion from the NCAA's recent guidelines. Castellanos previously accounted for over 3,300 total yards and 24 touchdowns during his time with the Seminoles. Several schools have already expressed interest as fall camp approaches, though many teams have already named their starting quarterbacks. NCAA President Charlie Baker has voiced concerns regarding the implications of the ruling and the need for legislative intervention to establish stability in college sports.
