One question to Overton: how has the team handled crowd noise in practice, trying to simulate the environment in Doak Campbell Stadium?
Overton’s answer: “We just listen to our leaders. Disrespect will be addressed accordingly.”
Another question to Overton: what stands out about Castellanos, a transfer from Boston College, on film?
“Of course it’s the legs,” Overton said. “But nothing we ain’t seen before.”
Overton, who transferred after the 2023 season from Texas A&M to Alabama, noted Alabama practiced against a quarterback in Jalen Milroe last season who could run.
“It’s nothing different,” Overton said. “It’s being able to compete him contained, keeping our rush lanes in check, and making sure he just keeps the ball — we want to make sure [Castellanos] doesn’t want the ball in his hands anymore.”
Castellanos ran for 1,113 yards at Boston College in 2023 before his effectiveness as a runner was limited last season by new Eagles coach Bill O’Brien before Castellanos left the team. He reunited this offseason in Tallahassee with Seminoles offensive coordinator Gus Malzahn, who coached Castellanos at UCF in 2022.
Much of Florida State’s offense around Castellanos is also new. The Seminoles’ starting offensive line features four incoming transfers, and Overton was asked Tuesday about watching film of those players at other schools to prepare.
“Me and TK [Tim Keenan] and a few of the guys on the D-line, even around the defense, we’ve known these guys — the transfers that’s came in,” Overton said. “It’s not anything we haven’t seen before when it comes to dirtiness or however their stamp on it is, how they play is. We’re prepared for anything.”
