Overview
- Castellanos ended his pursuit of extra eligibility after the NCAA denied a waiver tied to his five-game 2022 season at UCF, which was not covered by a later non‑retroactive rule change.
- Just Win Management Group said it fully supports Castellanos’ decision to stop the appeal and focus on preparing for the draft.
- He finished 2025 completing 58.3% of his passes for 2,760 yards with 15 touchdowns and nine interceptions, adding a team‑best 557 rushing yards and nine scores as FSU went 5–7.
- Florida State’s quarterback depth tightened as Brock Glenn entered the transfer portal, and reports indicate the Seminoles are likely to seek a transfer at the position.
- Castellanos was not listed among Bleacher Report’s top 14 quarterbacks for 2026, making the pre‑draft process critical ahead of the April 23–25 draft in Pittsburgh.
