Thomas Castellanos is excited about the opportunity to face Alabama. The new Florida State quarterback is quite confident he’ll find success in the matchup.
Castellanos recently spoke to On3’s Pete Nakos and did not shy from challenging the Crimson Tide when talking about the Week 1 showdown.
“They don’t have Nick Saban to save them. I just don’t see them stopping me,” Castellano said, per On3.
Castellanos is in his first year at Florida State after 2 seasons at Boston College and 1 season at UCF. At FSU, he’s reuniting with former UCF head coach Gus Malzahn, who is now the offensive coordinator on Mike Norvell’s staff.
In 2023-24, Castellanos appeared in 21 games with 20 starts for Boston College. Last season, he played in 8 games, going 99-of-161 passing (61.5% complete) for 1,366 yards and 18 touchdowns with 5 interceptions, rushing 93 times for 194 yards and 1 touchdown.
Castellanos’ most productive season came in 2023. Playing in 13 games, he completed 57.3% of his passes for 2,248 yards and 15 touchdowns with 14 interceptions. He also rushed 215 times for 1,113 yards and 13 touchdowns.
Both Alabama and Florida State are looking to bounce back after disappointing 2024 seasons. In Kalen DeBoer‘s first season, the Crimson Tide finished 9-4 with a loss to Michigan in the ReliaQuest Bowl. FSU posted a 2-10 record in 2024, Norvell’s 5th season leading the Seminoles.
Alabama at Florida State is set for a 3:30 p.m. ET kickoff in Tallahassee on Aug. 30. The game will air on ABC.
