TALLAHASSEE – Florida State senior quarterback Tommy Castellanos is a Manning Award Star of the Week and a Davey O'Brien Great 8 honoree after leading Florida State to a 31-17 win over No. 8 Alabama to begin the 2025 season.
Making his first start for Florida State, Castellanos, from Waycross, Georgia, completed 9-of-14 passes for 152 yards and added a game-high 78 rushing yards on 16 attempts, with one rushing touchdown. He did not commit a turnover in the contest and became the second player to account for at least 150 passing yards and 75 rushing yards in a non-conference game against Alabama in the last 20 seasons, joining Heisman Trophy winner Kyler Murray in the 2018 Orange Bowl.
Castellanos scored FSU's first touchdown of the season, a 9-yard run in the first quarter. His touchdown run came after connecting with Squirrel White for a 40-yard completion on 3rd-and-11.
As a team, FSU ran for 230 yards and four touchdowns, and Castellanos led five scoring drives against the Crimson Tide.
