Castellanos to Texas Tech Amid Eligibility Drama | Texas Tech Red Raiders Football News

Tommy Castellanos, a dynamic dual-threat QB from Florida State, has officially committed to Texas Tech after landing an extra year of eligibility — a move that could reshape the Red Raiders’ offense. Despite recent Big 12 bans on pro players returning, Castellanos’ limited NFL involvement (a rookie minicamp with Miami) may exempt him, similar to Trent Hendrick’s path to UCLA. With Will Hammond as starter, Castellanos could slide into backup duties or even play receiver — leveraging his 32 starts, 6K+ passing yards, 48 TDs, and 2K rushing yards, including a game-winning 78-yard TD run vs. Alabama. His arrival adds firepower and versatility to a hungry Big 12 program. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
