Dont let anyone tell you you're not ready or not good enough! Not many ppl could do what we did being hired in July! Huge credit goes to our players who grinded from day 1 n also our coaches who believed in the culture change. No longer will ECSU def be an afterthought!

I have been seeing a ton of dudes in this 2021 class. Film is one key but for us I like to get to know my guys. Thats the real bond for us coaches at Seton Hill. We want you to be more than a football player. We strive to help you become better Men, Husbands and Fathers.

2020 Recruiting is so different. 2021 class you honestly have to be more diligent at a quicker pace with your choices of schools. VISIT campuses asap. Apply asap. Scholarships, roster spots are truly limited bc of NCAA ruling. You feel at home..make it your home! Do ur homework!

Fellas.. I had to learn this myself but you have to run your own race. Stop looking at the dude next to you or even your boy. You all have diff paths to success, If you keep looking at what the next man is doing you will miss your step on your path. Keep ya blinders on n grind!

If a Coach recruiting you is not truly excited and happy for your success then he is recruiting you for the wrong reason. I truly love seeing my guys getting offers everywhere. That means their hard work is paying off. At end of the day I want my youngins to be successful in life

Just a FYI You cant play ball in college until you get accepted. Make sure you are applying to the schools you are interested in. Coaches look at guys that take forever to apply and lose interest in those kids. I just keep it real. Recruits help yourself out!

2021's I feel for you. I really do. You are forced to grow up quicker than you wanted. You have to make big boys decisions. You can't live in a "What if" world. What if I get this later on. You miss out on alot. You have to live in a "What Is" type world. Life Lessons all around!

Get in front of coaches as much as possible! I had guys that I had on the fringe of maybe Scholly, maybe walk on and then I saw them in person on a visit and was truly impressed. Made me go back to film and re evaluate. Every coach has done that! I tell no lies!

Recruits we all know how much pride u have in ur HS. Most of u grew up there, went to the JR HS. Once you go to college, don't forget where you came from. Work hard on n off the field so u never tarnish the HS you have so much pride in. You can help get ur teammates recruited!

With the landscape of college football on all levels with the portal, HS kids need to take advantage of what they have in front of them. Most programs aren't taking alot of HS recruits. It's a tough but understanding that can only help. Get in where you fit in! Go be great!

It is more than just coaching for me I have the opportunity to help change lives and help mode young men. I am not close to perfect n have made my mistakes in life. Which is the biggest reason I try so hard to be a mentor to my guys These kids just need someone to believe in them
Meet Coach Castillo. He started coaching to stay close to the game but learned he had a platform to help young men achieve their goals in life. He was more than just a coach but a mentor. Favorite memory was winning the Arena Championship. Favorite TV show is Impractical Jokers!
