Former Florida State Quarterback Weighs In On Program Adding Thomas Castellanos

Former Florida State quarterback EJ Manuel recently shared his thoughts on the Seminoles’ addition of Thomas Castellanos, a highly-touted transfer quarterback from UCF, signaling the program’s continued ambition to build a strong and competitive roster. Castellanos, known for his dual-threat ability, transferred to Florida State after a standout season at UCF, where he impressed with both his arm and legs, making him an intriguing addition to FSU’s quarterback room.

Manuel, who played for the Seminoles from 2010 to 2012, emphasized that Castellanos’ skill set aligns perfectly with the modern demands of college football. “He’s got the ability to make plays with his legs, but he’s also a very sharp passer,” Manuel said. “FSU is always looking for quarterbacks who can stretch the field, and Thomas brings that versatility. His athleticism will give FSU a different dimension.”

Manuel highlighted Castellanos’ potential to provide valuable competition for the starting job, which is crucial for the development of both the incumbent quarterbacks and the entire offense. “FSU’s quarterback room is deep, and adding someone like Thomas is a great move,” he continued. “It pushes everyone to get better, and that can only make the team stronger.”

Though Florida State currently has Jordan Travis, a dynamic senior quarterback, leading the offense, the addition of Castellanos signals that head coach Mike Norvell is looking to secure future depth at the position. Manuel noted that while Castellanos will need time to adjust to the FSU system, his athletic ability and experience will make him a strong asset moving forward.

Overall, Manuel praised the Seminoles for continuing to make strategic moves to improve and maintain a high level of competition at key positions, particularly quarterback.
