Tommy Castellanos is getting an NFL opportunity after a college career at Boston College and Florida State.

It comes with a catch, though -- the college QB will have to change positions.

Castellanos has been invited to Miami Dolphins rookie minicamp, where he will play wide receiver, according to Logan B. Robinson.

The invite makes a lot of sense, because Castellanos previously played for current Dolphins head coach Jeff Hafley at BC.

Florida State QB Tommy Castellanos will also attend the Dolphins' rookie minicamp after getting an invite.Castellanos has ties with Jeff Hafley after playing for him in 2023 at Boston College. He became the first player in Eagles' history to throw for over 2,000 yards and rush…

Castellanos actually began his college career at Central Florida but barely played, and so he transferred from UCF to Boston College, where he broke out.

In 2023, he threw for 2,248 yards and 15 touchdowns while running 215 times for 1,113 yards and 13 more TDs.

His 2024 was shortened by injury, and he left BC after that season to head to Florida State.

In 2025, Castellanos threw for 2,760 yards with 15 TDs and ran 137 times for 557 yards and nine more scores.

He was interception-prone in his college career, and at just 5-foot-9, he didn't project as an NFL QB.

He ran a 4.62-second 40-yard dash at his Pro Day, which might not be as fast as he would've hoped for. He'll have to use his quickness more than his outright speed to potentially earn further opportunity with the Dolphins.
