Love this kid’s high school highlights. He’s fast, aggressive and hits a ton. I’d be surprised if he doesn’t at least get some playing time on special teams. The kid looks like a future star.

IMO he's going to be a very good Iowa safety. I would also burn the redshirt and put him on the kickoff team for every game.
Agree OP, Castro will fit right in and within a couple years become a fixture.
Castro, Lee, Belton, Campbell, & Hunt are my top 5 freshmen on D.

Flys to the ball. He looks like an aggressive player who likes to hit. A lot to like.
that's a mean lookin mexican..
he's gonna play.
Dear Coach,
I hope at your next job there's
a dental college.

No shit. He knows how to play football and hit. We've got a good one here!!
I like him ... a lot! Fast, fast and fast to the ball. Looks like he has great instincts. I think he's going to be a good one. 
Castro makes fast guys look not fast. Probably one of the most impressive highlight films I’ve seen. Kids a stud.
First time seeing that film......wow. Might be my favorite hawk in that class. How many forced fumbles did he have in that film. Definitely Cash or SS
Highlight reel shows quick decision making and taking good angles, with speed, to the ball. Didn't really blow anyone up, more of a finesse tackler. Looks like the kind of player that would do well on special teams. He demonstrated that the primary purpose on defense is to stop the ball carrier ASAP.
I don't know if there is necessarily a "mold" that automatically produces a high-quality Phil Parker coached safety ... however, being an athletic, tough, smart, former QB is one heck of a place to start.
There's a whole string of starting Iowa safeties who were able to utilize their high football IQ (something likely acquired by being a former QB) ... and have that translate to being the QB of the secondary.
Even in just recent history, Geno Stone, Jake Gervase, and Amani Hooker all share those same characteristics!
Not surprisingly ... like many of you ... I'm very excited about having Sebastian as a Hawk!

The only issue I see here (1 minute into the highlight) is that his first 7-8 tackles he didn't wrap up, just laid a hit. I'll finish watching later, but in the B1G, he's going to need to wrap up. It's easy enough to fix, though.
Belton and Castro are gonna be complete studs if they stay on track, both could be huge contributors on special teams next year. Love the athleticism both bring.
I don’t think it’s a stretch to say he might be pushing for meaningful snaps in his first year here. Instinctual, tough and a quick closer he’s got the look, for sure.
A lot of young guys that can contribute. He checks all the box’s. Heck of an opportunity for this young man.
Sebastian Castro reminds me so much of Josh Jackson. Long arms really quick and always near the the action.
That's a hell of a tape. Glad he's a hawk. I see a little Josey Jewell in the way he diagnoses a play and gets to the ball.
Put a pic of you and your wife on here since you love to throw stones
