Castellanos Returns to Texas Tech | Texas Tech Red Raiders Football News

Texas Tech’s quarterback future just got a wild twist with the unexpected return of Thomas Castellanos, a former Florida State and Boston College star who was nearly done with his college career — until a court order against the NCAA flipped the script.

Now, he’s headed to Lubbock as Will Hammond’s backup — a role that suits his 32-game experience — even though he’s also been linked to wide receiver.
