There’s mobile quarterbacks, and then there’s Boston College’s Thomas Castellanos. The Eagles’ starter recorded 215 rush attempts for 1,113 yards in 2023. Nobody on Michigan State – quarterback or running back – has run the ball that much in a season since Kenneth Walker III in 2021.

“He [Castellanos] can run around a lot,” MSU rush end Khris Bogle said on Wednesday. “Just by watching him, he’s not as big, but he can definitely run, so [we need to] contain and keep him in the pocket as much as we can.”

Sacking Castellanos, especially for true negative yardage, is no small feat. He’s been sacked five times on the year for a loss of just 15 yards. Four of those sacks were for only a loss of one or two yards, and the other was for a loss of nine yards.

“Certainly, he presents a unique challenge, as every quarterback does,” Michigan State rush ends coach Chad Wilt said. “Every quarterback is their own individual and every week we go in with an individualized pass rush plan for that quarterback.”

Bogle is confident in the Spartans' ability to rush the quarterback.

“We’re definitely going to get after him,” he said.
