QB PLAY OF THOMAS CASTELLANOS

This is not a direct shot at quarterbacks DJ Uiagalelei, Brock Glenn, or Luke Kromenhoek when they took reps for the signal-caller position in 2024.

However, the coaching staff thought that they could bring in veteran transfer DJ Uiagalelei and still have the offense serviceable after they had to replace the likes of do-it-all Jordan Travis. The jury is still out there for some people who question Norvell's ability to win without Travis.

However, I believe that former Boston College quarterback transfer Thomas Castellanos gives Norvell the best chance to be successful due to his ability to use his legs. While I understand that Castellanos did not run much last year in 2024, he did have to deal with head football coach Bill O'Brien, who runs a pro-style system that doesn't highlight his skill set.

Castellanos has given Norvell problems as an opposing player with his dynamic ability over the past two seasons. I hope that the quarterback has success in Tallahassee under the guidance of new offensive coordinator Gus Malzahn.
