Florida State quarterback Thomas Castellanos has dropped his petition for another year of eligibility and declared for the 2026 NFL Draft.
'To my family, friends, coaches, and teammates and everyone who has supported me along this journey, thank you for believing in me and pushing me to become the man I am today,' he posted Tuesday on X.
Castellanos started 12 games for the Seminoles in 2025 following two seasons at Boston College (2023-24) and one at UCF (2022).
He had appealed for an extra season based on only appearing in five games as a freshman reserve for the Knights in 2022, including as an injury replacement in the then-American Athletic Conference championship game.
Just Win Management Group, the agency that aided Castellanos during his legal battle with the NCAA, supported his decision to move on.
'While the unique facts and circumstances surrounding the petition for an additional year of eligibility did create a path of viability, after careful review and consideration, we fully support Mr. Castellanos' decision to forego that continued pursuit and focus his attention on preparing for the 2026 NFL draft,' the agency said in a statement.
Castellanos started every game for the Seminoles (5-7) in 2025, connecting on 58.3% of passes for 2,760 yards with 15 touchdowns and nine interceptions. He also rushed for a team-high 557 yards and nine scores.
