Texas Tech Lands Veteran QB Castellanos | Texas Tech Red Raiders Football News

Texas Tech just pulled off a major QB coup for 2026, landing former Florida State standout Thomas Castellanos — a dual-threat signal-caller with over 6K passing yards, nearly 2K rushing yards, and a clutch win against top-ranked Alabama. With a temporary injunction allowing him to play a fifth year, Castellanos brings veteran experience and backup insurance to Lubbock, where the Red Raiders have relied on backups in nine of the last ten seasons. Standing at 5’11”, he’s got the arm and legs to make plays — even if his interception rate is a concern. This move could be key as Texas Tech eyes a Big 12 title and College Football Playoff run.
