Former FSU QB Thomas Castellanos mulling college football return

A host of athletes have a new lease on their college lives, and former Florida State quarterback Thomas Castellanos is one of them.

The former Seminoles passer gained a fifth year of eligibility from a court ruling Friday and is reportedly open to returning to college football, his agent told On3.

Castellanos played for UCF as a freshman, Boston College as a sophomore and junior, and Florida State as a senior. Last season with the Seminoles, he threw for 2,760 yards with 15 touchdowns and nine interceptions. He added another 557 yards and nine touchdowns on the ground a year ago.

Castellanos would consider returning as a quarterback or as a general athlete, which would be intriguing considering the versatility he has with his legs.

FSU Wire‘s JD McCarthy took a closer look at the Seminoles’ current quarterback room, and whether it would make sense for Castellanos to rejoin it.
