Youtube recommended this vid to me. Just briefly watching the video and he reminds me of Jeff Godfrey.
Thomas castellanos UCF QB Commit
- Thread starter Central Floridave
- Start date
He looks so good man, like ridiculous. He’s so quick on that first step and can cut so well in traffic. Oh, and he can chuck it, not a lot of receivers holding up, it’s hitting them in stride. I’m excited about this guy.
Godfrey was much smaller and couldnt shake tackles like this kid. He is real deal
Its tough not to be excited by this dude's game.
Need to get that young man an updated UCF shirt though. Come on Gus!
I know I’m getting really ahead of my self and this may come off sort of usf delusional, but in Gus system in the Big12, I’m calling future Heisman finalist for this guy right now. Mark it down, I said it…
If I’m Gus I’m starting him day one btw, without a doubt. Guy looks ready made man.
I'm excited bout this guy and he's been ALL IN for a long time even though other schools have been trying to get him. True duel threat QB. Gus had Cam Newton so he will know how to use him.
Nick Marshall is probably a better comparison since it’s Gus system. And Marshall was a monster in that Auburn team.
Is he graduating early?Get him here in January so he can start in September
He’s enrolling early i’m pretty positive.
Having this freshmen along with our red-shirt freshmen QB getting reps in 2022 before the 2023 season in the Big-12 will be big for starting off right in P5-land.
Jimmy Johnson was asked recently what was the second most needed player on an NFL team after getting a stellar starting QB and he said a good backup QB.

Same height, Godfrey weighed 10-15 lbs less.
I'm glad you guys are excited about TC....we all know there is a world of difference between HS and college.
I think we lose sight of how good Jeff was as a Freshman....if McClain had Godfrey's arm talent, they would have wiped the floor with us.
Nice post.
Godfrey had a cannon, was fun to watch. Felt like teams figured him out as a runner in year two and forced him to throw to win and it didn’t work out as well.
He lost a couple of steps after getting beat up as a Freshman, didn't know how to adjust.....then had that idiot Luther Campbell filling his head with lies.
TC is the reason DG went in the portal.
Pot stirred! 😈

Lead us to our first ranking. Was fun to watch
Godfrey would probably been pretty good in our last 3 offenses. He wasn’t great in a pro style offense.
I still can’t figure out what happened during that 2011 season. It started with so much promise, especially with Godfrey and the defense wiping the floor with Boston College. All downhill from there and eventually Bortles took over.

Yeah, that Boston College game was surreal, like that wasn't UCF of the era where when we beat a P5 (not often), it was by a FG. We smashed them 30-3....and it wasn't that close.
I was watching some highlights the other day of Jeff and couldn't help but think he would have thrived in the current scheme under Gus. I forgot how much arm strength he had for such a tiny guy.
"I still can’t figure out what happened during that 2011 season."
Cliffnotes: O'leary tried to make Godfrey a pocket passer only.

Unbelievable arm strength in those highlights.
took me a second on who TC was. Agreed. Kid makes throws on time. Anticipation is there, look at some of the out routes he connects on, ball is out of his hands as WR is making his cut. If coach is going to utilize him in the running game, might not be a bad idea to have a backup. If that is Keane or whoever, probably going to have some injury time for the freshman. May miss a series or two here and there. Teach him to slide.
The teams watched the film on Godfrey and he couldn't run around the outside anymore because they were always ready for him. Also, he had a hard time finding receivers from behind the line.
Lastly, yes GOL was very unimaginative with his offensive plays unlike Gus.

That's what I remember. I was furious when GOL said "I don't know why he's playing different," or something to that effect. It was obvious the play calling had changed.
He looked for the 1st option on the pass play and then sprinted around the end of the line is what I remember. It's harder to hit your 2nd and 3rd option when you've moved the pocket.
Why didn't anyone do that the first year, including Georgia in the bowl game with a month to prepare, or BC or BYU (who we lead for most of the game until Godfrey was injured) in 2011?
It's hard for me to believe that they all figured it out at the same time, after not figuring it out for as long as they didn't.
I suspected that answer. It doesn't account for the other two which were the next season.
I don't discount your hypothesis completely, but I think there was more at play than just that.
I loved this thread so much more when we talked about Thomas Castellanos.
He was so good in spring practice. I don't know how in the hell GOL didn't start him first game...
He was so good in spring practice. Idk how the hell he didn't start from game one
This one is easy.....GOL was infatuated by Calabrese, no matter how bad he was.
