FSU Thomas Castellanos.

Florida State quarterback Thomas Castellanos has dropped his appeal for another year of college eligibility and declared for the NFL draft. In a social media post, Castellanos thanked family, friends, coaches and teammates and “everyone who has supported me along this journey.” The NCAA initially denied Castellanos’ waiver request for a fifth season. Castellanos, who transferred to Florida State last December after one year at Central Florida and two at Boston College, argued that college football’s sanctioning body should grant him another season because he played in only five games with the Knights in 2022. It’s a moot point now.
