During Thursday's segment of the "Joel Klatt Show," Fox Sports analyst Joel Klatt ranked Castellanos at No. 6 among an all-star cast of college football quarterbacks (21:30).

"His numbers are not going to blow you out of the water, and more specifically, because they've only played two games, but they've beat Alabama, they've played kind of a nobody," Klatt said. "But man, that performance against Alabama - and it's not what he did on the stat sheet, it's everything else that he did.

"Providing the energy, short area quickness, his ability to be a threat in the running game, his ability to throw the football down the field. It clearly changed the. Castellanos has clearly earned his way onto this list."
