It seems that when players copy each other’s celebrations or gestures, the world goes crazy: Florida State quarterback Thomas Castellanos in the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) has received criticism after taking the same type of photo as player Shedeur Sanders.

The Florida State Seminoles received some very exciting news on Sunday: they signed a commitment from Class of 2026 quarterback Jaden O’Neal, whom On3 Industry Rankings considers a four-star player.

Shocking! Deion Sanders slams the Saints’ QB pick

What kind of photo did Thomas Castellanos imitate Shedeur Sanders?

It’s believed that, possibly next year or later, O’Neal will replace Castellanos, who reportedly started the program after transferring from Boston College, as the starting quarterback. Both quarterbacks posed for the camera with a gesture in which one “passes the keys” to the other, symbolizing that he is next in line for the job.

However, this isn’t the first time this type of photo has been taken, as Sanders, then the starter for the Colorado Buffaloes (now a quarterback for the Cleveland Browns in the NFL), did it last year with draftee Julian Lewis. Now, Castellanos and O’Neal are being criticized for their lack of creativity and for copying the photo and its symbolism. “Why does everyone have to copy Colorado?” read one comment.

Thomas Castellanos’ words that fired up the Alabama Crimson Tide

The former Boston College quarterback was even more forceful when referring specifically to his first opponent of the season: “They don’t have Nick Saban to save them anymore. I really don’t see how they can stop me,” he stated, igniting social media and provoking strong reactions from both Alabama players and fans.

Castellanos arrives in Tallahassee after two seasons at Boston College, where he excelled with his ability to run the ball but faced criticism for his inconsistency as a passer. Then-Eagles coach Bill O’Brien decided to bench him due to his limited reads and struggles in the passing game. Shortly after, Castellanos entered the transfer portal.
