Ex-FSU QB Tommy Castellanos finds new home, lands at Texas Tech

Former Florida State football quarterback Tommy Castellanos has committed to Texas Tech.

Former Florida State quarterback Tommy Castellanos has committed to play at Texas Tech, reports ESPN. The move comes after a Kentucky judge extended Castellanos' eligibility, allowing him to play a fifth season. Texas Tech's quarterback situation is complicated by the NCAA's decision to rule out Brendan Sorsby, who was involved in a gambling scandal.

Sophomore Will Hammond will lead the team for now, after recovering from an ACL injury that sidelined him. Castellanos, who threw for 2,760 yards, 15 touchdowns, and 9 interceptions in his one year with FSU, also added 557 rushing yards and 9 more TDs. He played quarterback for four years in college before considering a switch to wide receiver.

Castellanos has received NFL minicamp invites as a receiver, and his college development could improve his prospects in the upcoming NFL preseason.
