QB THOMAS CASTELLANOS
This selection should be obvious. We saw what happens when you have a good quarterback on your roster as the arch-rival Florida Gators and Miami Hurricanes were successful on the field, thanks to the successes of Cam Ward and DJ Lagway.
The Seminoles thought that former Clemson and Oregon State transfer option DJ Uiagalelei would have worked out last season, but it turned into an utter disaster.
Fast-forwarding to this offseason, Florida State picked up a dual-threat signal-caller Thomas Castellanos and reunited him with Gus Malzahn. This could be a scary proposition for opposing defenses as Coach Malzahn loves to run the football, and Castellanos had over 1,100 rushing yards in 2023 with the Boston College Eagles.
Castellanos has earned praise this offseason for his leadership and his ability to use his legs, but this is the time to step forward and take an even bigger step in his development for the betterment of Florida State in 2025. Let's see if he can stack solid performance after performing well in the last scrimmage.
