Will Florida State pass on QB Thomas Castellanos for a third time?

Florida State football had a 2-10 record after the 2024 season. The Seminoles' fan base knew something had to change. Head football coach Mike Norvell even mentioned that changes were coming. Some thought that Norvell wouldn't make the necessary moves. However, he fired a ton of assistant coaches and acquired some highly-touted prospects on the recruiting trail.

There is still a long way to go before Florida State will be ready to take on the Alabama Crimson Tide in the friendly confines of Doak Campbell Stadium. However, the Seminoles are heading in the right direction as they navigate to respectability.

That said, the offense for the Seminoles was horrific in 2023. I originally thought that Mike Norvell was one of the best playcallers in all of college football. Unfortunately, that notion went down the drain quickly after the first three games of the season.

The quarterback situation involved redshirt freshman Brock Glenn and true freshman Luke Kromenhoek when veteran DJ Uiagalelei went down with an injury.

When Glenn and Kromenhoek played, they were a mixed bag of results. Neither of them showed that they were the guaranteed starter for the Alabama season opener.

Florida State will have former Boston College quarterback transfer Thomas Castellanos come for a visit this week. The Seminoles are certainly looking for options at the position. The dual-threat option recorded 1,366 passing yards with 18 touchdowns and five interceptions.

Castellanos was a former three-star prospect in the 2022 cycle that the Seminoles recruited as a running back. Unfortunately, the athlete went to UCF as a quarterback. Then he went to Boston College the following season where he showed flashes of being successful.

However, in 2024, he dealt with head football coach Bill O'Brien in his first year with Boston College. Florida State fans are nervous that Castellanos is 6'0" tall, he got benched, and he quit on his team (supposedly).

I do not love Castellanos as a pickup. However, I would rather have Kaidon Salter at quarterback.
