QB THOMAS CASTELLANOS

Why don't we start with the man of the hour? Quarterback Thomas Castellanos.

We all saw the interview quotes that he had with On3's Pete Nakos. They made some Seminole fans cringe as they didn't want the program to potentially be blown out, while the others thought it was Castellanos being a confident player.

Nonetheless, the former UCF and Boston College transfer signal-caller will have to play a big role if the Seminoles want to be competitive with Alabama. I am excited about Castellanos's ability to extend the plays with his legs and bring a dynamic rushing attack to the Seminoles.

I know that some of the fan base is skeptical of Castellanos's throwing ability, but if he utilizes his feet, then it could open up throwing windows for him on second and third downs to keep the drive alive.
