Castro is arguably one of the best players on the team and the two-way player shows great athleticism. He has good size and will continue to grow into his frame. I’ve seen him live this offseason and as a rusher, is good off the line, he has good quickness and presents active hands and can win with speed and power. He does a good job disrupting an opposing teams gameplan and he is someone that will become a high-end EDGE rusher in the 2027 class.

Castro has exceptional potential. He is quick off the line, moves well laterally, and is a player who showcases good strength and physicality. He’s a versatile lineman who can line up as an interior defensive tackle or be used as a bigger edge rusher. He has good quickness, and he is set up for a huge season and can potentially get 15 sacks. Excellent athlete with great upside and should get some regional offers his way.

Castro showcased a quick burst and excellent movement patterns during the individual drills. Once the 5v5 git, he blossomed, displayed excellent strength, active hands, good physicality and an array of moves that won him reps including a spin move and a bull rush. He blends speed, athleticism and power very well.

Castro has excellent size and can get up to 250 lbs with ease. He plays alongside the entire line and does a good job playing the interior defensive tackle, gets small through the line, and explodes once he slips past the lineman. Castro is a technically sound player with good technique and as an EDGE rusher, good power and a bull rush to get the lineman off balance and his closing speed helps him get to the ball carrier. He has good footwork and is a player who will continue to develop, an exciting prospect. He should get regionally recruited and be on the radar for Power-Four programs.
