Sam Leavitt conquers the youth camp battlefield with $3M NIL statement and selfless gesture for teammates

In the heart of Arizona, amidst the scorching heat and the relentless pursuit of excellence, a young quarterback named Sam Leavitt has emerged not only as a beacon of hope for the Arizona State Sun Devils but also as a shining example of altruism in the competitive world of college football. His recent actions, both on and off the field, have not only turned heads but also set a new precedent for what it means to be a leader in the modern era of sports.
A Leader On and Off the Field
Sam Leavitt’s journey is a testament to his extraordinary talent and unwavering character. As a player, his prowess on the field is undeniable, commanding the attention of fans and foes alike with his precision and determination. But it is his actions off the field that have truly captured the essence of his leadership. Arizona State’s Head Coach, Kenny Dillingham, couldn’t help but praise Leavitt, stating, “His willingness to sacrifice for his teammates, both on and off the field, is what makes him truly exceptional and a great role model for future Sun Devils.”
A Gesture of Generosity
In a remarkable display of selflessness, Leavitt recently made headlines not for his athletic achievements but for his generous spirit. At a youth camp, he made a significant financial gesture, donating a five-figure sum from his own earnings. This act of kindness was not just a donation but a statement, highlighting his belief in giving back to the community and supporting those around him. It’s a rare sight in the fiercely competitive arena of college sports, where individual accolades often overshadow team spirit and community support.
The Impact of a $3M NIL Statement
Beyond his philanthropic efforts, Leavitt’s approach to the Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) opportunities has been equally groundbreaking. By securing a staggering $3 million in NIL deals, he has not only set a new benchmark for collegiate athletes but has also shown a keen understanding of the value of his platform. This monumental achievement is not just a personal victory for Leavitt but a clear indication of the evolving landscape of college sports, where athletes are now recognized for their worth beyond the field.
A Role Model for Future Generations
Sam Leavitt’s story is a powerful reminder of the impact one individual can have when talent is matched with humility and generosity. His actions speak volumes about his character and set a shining example for young athletes everywhere. In a world where sports figures are often idolized for their physical abilities, Leavitt stands out as a role model who demonstrates the importance of compassion, teamwork, and community engagement.
Reflecting on a Bright Future
As we look to the future, Sam Leavitt’s journey offers a glimpse into the potential of modern athletes to influence society positively. His blend of exceptional talent, selfless acts, and savvy business acumen represents a new era of sportsmanship—one where success is measured not only by victories on the field but also by the impact made off it. For aspiring Sun Devils and young athletes around the world, Leavitt’s legacy is a beacon of hope, showing that true greatness comes from the heart.
In the end, Sam Leavitt’s story transcends the realm of college football, serving as a profound narrative about the power of giving, the importance of community, and the endless possibilities that arise when we choose to lead by example.

New NIL deal is a game changer for Georgia’s pursuit of No. 1 LB
Tyler Atkinson is the No. 1 linebacker in the 2026 recruiting class and is a top target for Georgia.

Tyler Atkinson is the No. 1 linebacker in the 2026 recruiting class and is a top target for Georgia. Atkinson is yet to announce a commitment date yet, but the expectation is that he could share that news sometime this next month.
So while the college football world waits for that announcement, Atkinson recently shared some big personal news involving a new NIL deal.
The No. 1 linebacker in the class of 2026, Tyler Atkinson, has signed with adidas as an NIL partner /// https://t.co/85QmCTyZJm pic.twitter.com/3TDipPZQLQ

Tyler Atkinson’s Adidas NIL deal changes the game
It isn’t very common for high school athletes to sign NIL deals, but certain brands will strike deals with the top players in the country. Apparently Atkinson fits that description because he was one of six top high school recruits that have signed a deal with Adidas.
While this is an amazing accomplishment for him and his family, this could be an interesting development for Georgia in their pursuit of him. Atkinson now will likely only wear Adidas gear for the time being because of this NIL deal, but Georgia wears Nike gear for all of their sports. So could this new NIL deal impact Georgia’s chances?
Thankfully this deal likely won’t impact Atkinson’s recruitment in any way because all five of his finalists are Nike schools. This includes Oregon, Clemson, Texas, Ohio State and Georgia who all wear Nike gear every game.
There’s a chance this deal with Adidas will only last during the rest of his high school career, but it could bleed into his time at Georgia or any other school he commits to. Atkinson could still wear Adidas gear in his personal life and make appearances for the brand while still wearing Nike gear during game days. This is something Ohio State wide receiver Jeremiah Smith currently does, so that likely would be allowed at Georgia as well.
It’s a good sign that this deal won’t impact Georgia’s chances of landing Atkinson because they’ve been the leader for a few months now. So hopefully Atkinson announces his commitment soon, because Georgia fans would love nothing more than to add another five-star recruit to their recruiting class.

It’s almost here. Yes, college football season would fit that description, and by extension, the Ohio State football season, but we’re talking about the release of EA Sports back by popular demand and NIL pondering, “College Football 26.”
Leading up to the mass release on July 10, but those who bought the Deluxe edition have access as of Monday. So, with it, we have a look at what all of the player ratings are, and that includes each and every Ohio State football player in the game.
We already know, based on previous information released by EA Sports, that Jeremiah Smith and Caleb Downs are the two highest-rated players in the game, and that Ohio State is the No. 3 ranked squad in the game, but now we get an under-the-hood look at each rating.
Here’s a look at every position group and the Ohio State football player ratings for each on the offensive side of the ball. We’ll bring you the defensive player ratings on Tuesday, so check back.
Quarterbacks
The ratings from highest to lowest
This makes sense here. Though there is a quarterback battle ongoing between Sayin and Kienholz, it would be a pretty major surprise if Kienholz came out of it as the starter with the hype and skills the former 5-star recruit Sayin possesses. If anything, Kineholz should probably be rated a little higher than the freshman St. Clair.
Running Backs
The ratings from highest to lowest
- James Peoples | 87
- CJ Donaldson Jr. | 86
- Bo Jackson | 80
- Sam Williams-Dixon | 76
No issue with this at all. Peoples and Donaldson will most likely be used as a tandem just like TreVeyon Henderson and Quinshon Judkins were last year. Carries should be split pretty evenly, but we’ll see how it all plays out when the season gets rolling.
Wide Receivers
The ratings from highest to lowest
- Jeremiah Smith | 98
- Carnell Tate | 91
- Brandon Inniss | 80
- Mylan Graham | 78
- Quincy Porter | 78
- Bryson Rodgers | 76
- De’Zie Jones | 72
- Bodpegn Miller | 71
I am often amazed at how realistic these ratings are from EA Sports. They really do their homework, and I have no issue here with the top six. Maybe Mylan Graham should be a little higher, but the pecking order makes a lot of sense.
Tight Ends
The ratings from highest to lowest
- Max Klare | 91
- Will Kacmarek | 82
- Jelani Thurman | 82
- Bennett Christian | 79
- Nate Roberts | 75
- Max LeBlanc | 71
- John Ferlmann | 56
Klare is clearly the class of the tight ends and is rated as such. However, I don’t know that the game is giving the next two guys — Kacmarek and Thurman — their due and think they should be rated a wee bit higher than 82. It’s hard to argue too much with where this stands, however.
Left Tackle
The ratings from highest to lowest
- Ethan Onianwa | 85
- Ian Moore | 75
- Carter Lowe | 74
This actually lines up quite well with what we project with the two-deep offensive depth chart, so no complaints here. It’s really hard to get a massive rating as an offensive lineman in the game, and that’s reflected here.
Left Guard
The ratings from highest to lowest
- Luke Montgomery | 78
- Devontae Armstrong | 69
- Jake Cook | 69
Montgomery makes sense here, but during spring, we didn’t see either of the Armstrong twins really make a move. Don’t be surprised if Devontae is further behind on the depth chart here. The rating makes sense, but not sure someone else won’t be slotted in as backup should they be needed.
Center
The ratings from highest to lowest
- Carson Hinzman: 81
- Joshua Padilla: 73
Hinzman will start, so that makes sense, but the 81 rating is a bit low considering the experience and how he played at the end of last year. I expect an All-Big Ten type of year from him.
Right Guard
The ratings from highest to lowest
- Tegra Tshabola | 80
- Gabe VanSickle | 71
- Julian Goines-Jackson | 67
The depth here is thin, but it is on the roster as well as what many consider the weakest link on the offensive line. No issues from us, but as we stated in our offensive depth chart projection, someone (Ian Moore perhaps) could slide down the line and take Tshabola’s spot if there are issues during the season.
Right Tackle
The ratings from highest to lowest
- Austin Siereveld: 78
- Phillip Daniels: 76
- Deontae Armstrong: 73
Siereveld’s rating is way too low based on what we’ve heard from the coaching staff, but the order and depth look pretty good. With the praise he’s drawing, Siereveld could be a breakout star on the offensive line, and you definitely feel better about this spot than right guard.

Troubling NIL deal, Kirby Smart message, 5-star woes

It’s been a few days now since Georgia football has earned a commitment, but that doesn’t mean there hasn’t been a lot of important updates on the recruiting trail. This is especially the case with the best players in the country who Georgia is aggressively pursuing.
So let’s dive right in and discuss three important updates, beginning with the No. 1 linebacker in the country.
Georgia hits potential speed bump in Tyler Atkinson’s recruitment
Georgia’s top remaining target in the 2026 class is five-star linebacker Tyler Atkinson. A commitment date isn’t none for Atkinson yet, but many experts believe that Georgia is the current team to beat. But a new NIL deal that Atkinson signed could be changing that.
Atkinson is one of six top high school recruits who have just signed an NIL deal with Adidas. The reason this could be a problem for Georgia is because they wear Nike gear, not Adidas.
The good news for Georgia is that every other finalist in Atkinson’s recruitment (Clemson, Oregon, Texas and Ohio State) are all Nike schools as well. There are also examples of current college football players who have an NIL deal with Adidas even though their team wears Nike gear. But this latest NIL deal is a small reason for Georgia fans to be a little worried in Atkinson’s recruitment.
Kirby Smart wants the No. 3 EDGE bad
One of Georgia’s top targets in the 2027 recruiting class was made abundantly clear earlier this week. David Jacobs Jr. is a four-star EDGE and the No. 12 overall player in the country according to On3. Jacobs is also from the Peach State, so it isn’t surprising to find out how badly Kirby Smart wants him in Georgia’s recruiting class. But Jacobs recently was quoted stating the last message Smart shared with him.
“He (Smart) was like, ‘Lock me in, your future head coach.’”
It will be interesting to see how this recruitment plays out over the next year, but Georgia has a great chance to strike gold if Smart is taking this much of an interest in Jacobs’ recruitment.
Texas Tech moving past Georgia for top ranked recruit
The No. 1 recruit in the 2027 recruiting class is LaDamion Guyton who just so happens to be from the state of Georgia as well. Everyone knows this means Georgia will have a great chance to win this recruitment, and that was confirmed when 247Sports originally logged a prediction for UGA to win this recruitment.
Georgia however no longer appears to be trending for Guyton anymore as Rivals insider Sam Spiegelman placed a prediction on Monday for Guyton to commit to Texas Tech instead.
Who knows how accurate this prediction is, but seeing Guyton trend to any school not named Georgia is a little concerning. Thankfully there is still plenty of time in Guyton’s recruitment, so Georgia will have many opportunities to surpass the Red Raiders by the time his recruitment comes to an end.

The transfer portal has closed, the NBA draft is complete and the pieces are mostly in place for the coming men’s college basketball season.We previously did our too-early Top 25 preseason rankings after Florida finished as national champions in April. Now three months later, we revisit whether the Gators and others have moved up or down in our projections.
Unsurprisingly, the list is mostly filled with teams from the Big 12, Big Ten and SEC but the top half of the rankings have a balanced spread across the five major conferences, portending a wide-open race for who will be crowned national champion in Indianapolis at the end of the season. For reference, the previous rankings are in parenthesis.
1. Houston (1)The defending national runner-up loses stalwarts L.J. Cryer and J’Wan Roberts but is poised to make another run to the title game behind one of the top recruiting classes in the country, led by five-star forward Chris Cenac Jr. and guard Isiah Harwell. Returning contributors include guards Milos Uzan and Emanuel Sharp and frontcourt defensive standout Joseph Tugler.Cooper Flagg, Kon Knueppel and Khaman Maluach are off to the NBA along with Tyrese Proctor, but Jon Scheyer put together another top recruiting class. Next year’s group will be led by wingers Cameron and Cayden Boozer, the twin sons of former Blue Devils star Carlos Boozer. Also arriving are guards Dame Sarr and Sebastian Wilkins. They’ll join several veterans who opted to return, including Isaiah Evans and Caleb Foster.3. Connecticut (3)Three in a row wasn’t in the cards, but a third title in four years isn’t out of the question for UConn. Liam McNeeley is gone after just one year in Storrs, but reinforcements are coming for Danny Hurley, whose top-five recruiting class features a pair of McDonald’s All-Americans and an international prospect from Down Under. Post man Eric Reibe and guard Braylon Mullins comprise the domestic talent, and Australian wingman Jacob Furphy will arrive in the States this summer. Georgia transfer Silas Demary will provide even more backcourt depth. In addition, veteran forward Alex Karaban and rising junior Solo Ball return.4. Purdue (11)The news that rising seniors Braden Smith and Trey Kaufman-Renn would be back along with sharpshooter Fletcher Loyer vaulted the Boilermakers into the top spot in the Big Ten projections for 2025-26. The veteran-laden team with league title and Final Four potential also returns C.J. Cox and Gicarri Harris, and big man Oscar Cluff (South Dakota State) arrives via the portal to provide the low-post presence that was lacking in 2024-25.5. Florida (8)All-America guard and Final Four MVP Walter Clayton will be hard to replace. Backcourt mate Elijah Martin and Will Richard are also gone, but the Gators will defend their title with most of their inside players returning. Thomas Haugh, Micah Handlogten, Alex Condon and Rueben Chinyelu are all back. Denzel Aberdeen was a key reserve who should pick up more minutes, and the arrival of transfers Boogie Fland (Arkansas) and Xaivian Lee (Princeton) means there should be little to no drop-off in perimeter production.6. Michigan (9)Despite losing its top three players, things could get even better in year two for coach Dusty May in Ann Arbor thanks to a huge haul in the transfer portal. Yaxel Lendeborg (Alabama-Birmingham) elected to forgo the NBA for another year and should thrive in the Wolverines’ system. The newcomers also include point guard Elliott Cadeau (North Carolina) and frontcourt players Morez Johnson Jr. (Illinois) and Aday Mara (UCLA). Michigan also brings in an impact freshman in combo guard Trey McKenney and another top-100 recruit in Winters Grady.7. Brigham Young (5)After making the Sweet 16 for the second time since 1981, BYU is poised for a big year with the arrival of hyped freshman AJ Dybantsa. He’ll join a rotation that lost point guard Egor Demin to the NBA but brings back Dawson Baker and forwards Richie Saunders and Mihailo Boskovic. If Dybantsa is as good as expected, the Cougars could be a serious threat for the Final Four.8. Alabama (6)The Crimson Tide should again be among the SEC favorites. Losing catalyst Mark Sears puts pressure on the backcourt to replicate his scoring production and leadership, but the return of guard Lebaron Philon for a sophomore season will help. Aden Holloway should take up much of that slack as well, along with Miami (Fla.) transfer Jalil Bethea. Inside additions Noah Williamson (Bucknell) and Taylor Bol Bowen (Florida State) should take on big roles.
9. St. John’s (13)Now that Rick Pitino has instilled the work ethic needed to bring the Red Storm program back to prominence, he hopes the shooters he’s brought in via the portal will improve the team’s accuracy. Bryce Hopkins (Providence) should provide an immediate boost in that regard if he can stay healthy, with Joson Sanon (Arizona State) and Ian Jackson (North Carolina) adding back-court depth. Big East player of the year R.J. Luis is gone and Simeon Wilcher transferred out, but Zuby Ejiofor is back to anchor the interior.
10. UCLA (4)Mick Cronin has put together a transfer class that should make the Bruins one of the best teams in the Big Ten. The biggest addition is point guard Donovan Dent from New Mexico, who led the Mountain West with 20.4 points per game this season and may have been the best overall player in the portal. Another three incoming transfers join a roster headlined by returning starters forwards Eric Dailey Jr. and Tyler Bilodeau.11. Louisville (10)While several key pieces behind last year’s rebound under coach Pat Kelsey have been lost to graduation, Louisville was a sought-after destination for a strong transfer class. The impact newcomers include Isaac McKneely from Virginia, Ryan Conwell from Xavier and Adrian Wooley from Kennesaw State. The Cardinals will add another perimeter threat in freshman Mikel Brown and will get a boost from the return of big man Aly Khalifa, who redshirted last season after knee surgery.12. Texas Tech (7)Texas Tech’s roster has taken shape after reigning Big 12 Player of the Year JT Toppin and guard Christian Anderson opted to return to Lubbock. This pair will set the pace for another run at the Final Four after coming up one win shy this March. The Red Raiders’ transfer haul includes sharpshooting guards Donovan Atwell (UNC Greensboro) and Tyeree Bryan (Santa Clara) along with forward LeJuan Watts (Washington State) and center Luke Bamgboye (Virginia Commonwealth).13. Iowa State (14)A very deep roster took a hit with Eastern Washington transfer Mason Williams needing hip surgery that is likely keeps him out for the season.. But Iowa State has the bodies to replace that projected production and make a March Madness run. Newcomers such as forwards Blake Buchanan (Virginia) and forward Eric Mulder (Purdue-Fort Wayne) and a highly rated recruiting class will join holdovers in Tamin Lipsey, Joshua Jefferson and Milan Momcilovic to make the Cyclones a national player.14. Kentucky (16)Getting leading scorer Otega Oweh back in the fold for another year will keep the Wildcats in the mix for the SEC crown under second-year coach Mark Pope. One huge factor that could determine where Kentucky lands is the health of sophomore transfer Jayden Quaintance (Arizona State), one of the top prospects in the nation and a potential difference-maker on the defensive end. Quaintance injured his knee last season but is expected to be ready in the fall. Kentucky also upgraded its backcourt by adding Jaland Lowe (Pittsburgh) and Denzel Aberdeen (Florida).15. Tennessee (19)Tennessee is looking at a roster overhaul with just one returning starter in center Felix Okpara. The Volunteers need to land production in increased action from forwards Cade Phillips and J.D. Estrella while blending in point guard Ja’Kobi Gillespie (Maryland), guard Amaree Abram (Louisiana Tech) and forward Jaylen Carey (Vanderbilt). Tennessee will also lean on a really strong traditional recruiting class starring five-star forward Nate Ament.16. Wisconsin (19)Wisconsin will build around guard John Blackwell, who took his name out of the draft in favor of another year in Madison. He’ll team with former Florida Atlantic and San Diego State guard Nick Boyd will form one of the top backcourts in the Big Ten. The Badgers also brought in a deep threat in wing Andrew Rohde (Virginia) and a very promising young big man in sophomore Austin Rapp (Portland), the reigning West Coast Conference rookie of the year.17. Arizona (23)Guard Jaden Bradley will be one of the best players in the Big 12. Returning role players in forward Tobe Awaka and guard Anthony Dell’Orso add experience and production after last year’s Sweet 16 berth. But the Wildcats are going to be young, with six freshmen among the seven new additions to the roster. Included in this group are prized recruits Dwayne Aristode and Koa Peat.18. Gonzaga (20)Even though Mark Few is losing his strong backcourt of Ryan Nembhard, Nolan Hickman and Khalif Battle, the frontcourt is made up of a group of stars. Graham Ike is back and is a conference player of the year contender. He’ll be paired with Braden Huff, but the real key is the addition of Grand Canyon transfer Tyon Grant-Foster, a 25-year-old perennial scorer that could be the playmaker for the Zags. Former Big Sky player of the year Steele Venters will finally suit up after missing back-to-back seasons with injuries, putting the Bulldogs in great position for their final year in the West Coast Conference.19. Arkansas (12)The momentum from the Sweet 16 run should continue for John Calipari as he was able to bring back some last year’s core. D.J. Wagner and Karter Knox stayed but the Razorbacks took a hit when Adou Thiero decided to go to the NBA. Still, Calipari brings in another talented recruiting class, headlined by guard Darius Acuff Jr., who has SEC freshman of the year potential. Other incoming freshman Meleek Thomas could provide solid production off the bench.20. Creighton (21)Greg McDermott knew replacing Ryan Kalkbrenner and Steven Ashworth was the top priority, and he brought in transfers that should keep the Bluejays among Big East contenders. Iowa transfers Josh Dix and Owen Freeman will assume the leadership, while guard Nik Graves (Charlotte) and forward Blake Harper (Howard) will be X-factors after they each led their previous schools in scoring last season. Plus, you can’t forget the potential from Serbian 7-foot freshman Aleksa Dimitrijevic.
21. Kansas (17)
There were plenty of swings and misses by Bill Self in the transfer portal as he was unable to add a big-time playmaker. He was able to salvage it by bringing Tre White from Illinois and Jayden Dawson of Loyola-Chicago. Still, the Jayhawks await the arrival of top recruit Darryn Peterson. He has top NBA draft pick potential and he will join sophomore forward Flory Bidunga, who saved the offseason by choosing to stay in Kansas. The Jayhawks still feel like a bit of a mystery of whether it’ll be a boom or bust season.
22. Michigan State (15)
The Spartans will have to replace their top production as Jase Richardson’s jump to the NBA means last season’s top three scorers are gone. Michigan State played a deep rotation, so experience isn’t a big issue. Jeremy Fears Jr. will have to assume a bigger role and Carson Cooper will have to be a force down low. They’ll get help in Coen Carr and Jaxon Kohler. The transfer and recruiting haul is promising, but perimeter shooting still appears to be an issue.
23. Illinois (NR)
Illinois jumps into the rankings thanks to the international flair coming to Champaign; Mihailo Petrovic leads the Balkan squad now playing for Brad Underwood. Petrovic is a 22-years-old guard among the best players in the European ABA League. Also joining is Andrej Stojakovic, who had a great freshman season at California, and former Arkansas big man Zvonimir Ivišić, who joins brother Tomislav Ivišić to form a terrifying 7-foot duo. Also in the mix is guard Kylan Boswell after he showed maturity in the move to Illinois after leaving Arizona.
24. Oregon (NR)
Another new addition to the rankings, Oregon is looking to maintain success after an up-and-down season. Back are the top two scorers in Nate Bittle and Jackson Shelstad, who are consistent scorer. But they can’t be the only ones producing, and the Ducks have to replace TJ Bamba. That appears to be answered in the transfer portal. TK Simpkins led Elon in scoring last season and improved his 3-point shooting. Sean Stewart (Ohio State) also could be a breakout player as he finds a more elevated role.
25. Auburn (24)
Experienced stars led Auburn last season, but the entire starting unit is gone following the tough loss of Chad Baker-Mazara to Southern California. Bruce Pearl knew he had to replenish the roster, and he did so with significant recruiting and transfer classes. Keyshawn Hall (Central Florida) and Kevin Overton (Texas Tech) arrive after strong season, and there’s intrigue with the Tigers brining in the top junior college transfer, Abdul Bashir. A new crop of players will join Tahaad Pettiford, the one key returnee that had a big role in the Final Four squad.
Dropped out: Baylor, North Carolina.
Just missed: Texas, North Carolina State and Oklahoma.

According to Steve Berkowitz of the USA TODAY, another notice of appeal has been filed when it comes to the House-NCAA settlement. This one is by Florida State quarterback Tommy Castellanos, citing the College Football Playoff‘s role in the settlement.
“A sixth notice of appeal regarding House-NCAA settlement has been filed,” Berkowitz said via X. “This one is on behalf of Florida State quarterback Thomas Castellanos, whose objections included the College Football Playoff’s role in, and legal coverage from, the settlement.”
Castellanos is entering his first season at Florida State after transferring in from Boston College. Expectations are going to be high for the quarterback, hoping to help the Seminoles have a more successful 2025 season. Pairing him up with offensive coordinator Gus Malzahn could turn into a lethal combo inside the ACC.
During his time with Boston College, Castellanos threw for 3,614 yards, 33 touchdowns, and 19 interceptions over two seasons. Over 1,300 yards on the ground is a huge part of his game too, getting into the endzone on 14 occasions. The dual-threat ability is why Florida State got him out of the NCAA transfer portal but still want the stats look even better for him moving forward.
We will find out pretty quickly how Castellanos will fare at Florida State. The Seminoles will open the year at home against the Alabama Crimson Tide for one of college football’s top nonconference matchups of the season. Some trash-talking has already taken place from Castellanos, appearing quite confident in how FSU will fare in the game.
Tommy Castellanos calls out Alabama ahead of season opener
Kalen DeBoer enters his second season in charge at Alabama. Times have changed in Tuscaloosa, being now over a year removed from Nick Saban announcing his retirement. Three teams were able to get the Crimson Tide in 2024, causing them to miss the College Football Playoff.
Castellanos believes Florida State will be next. He does not see a world where Alabama is able to contain him, especially without their secret weapon on the sidelines.
“I’m excited, man,” Castellanos told On3’s Pete Nakos in an exclusive interview. “People, I don’t know if they know, but you go back and watch every first game that I played in, we always start fast. I dreamed of moments like this. I dreamed of playing against Alabama. They don’t have Nick Saban to save them. I just don’t see them stopping me.”
