Coach O’Brien Weighs in on Castellanos’ Return
Head coach Bill O’Brien expressed optimism about Castellanos’ performance during practice, stating, “I think he’s doing alright. I thought he showed up ready to go today and had a decent practice.” Such positivity from the coach sets a solid tone for the team as they prepare for their next challenge. Notably, coach O’Brien also mentioned that Grayson James, who stepped in as starter during Castellanos’ absence, is set to be ready as well. “So we have two guys that can play, no doubt about it,” O’Brien added, highlighting the team’s depth at the quarterback position.
A Strong Performance by James
In the prior game against Western Kentucky, James did not shy away from the spotlight. He completed 19 out of 32 passes for a total of 168 yards, including one passing touchdown and an additional rushing touchdown, ultimately leading the team to a thrilling victory with a last-minute touchdown pass to Jerand Bradley. This performance showcased his skills and adaptability as a transfer from FIU, filling in seamlessly for Castellanos.

He has accumulated 729 passing yards, ten touchdowns, and just two interceptions, proving himself to be a valuable asset to the team.
