Jed Castles
DCTF Star Rating
Tight End
Wichita Falls Rider Raiders, Class of 2021
Status: Verbal Commit
- State Rank:NR
- Position Rank:#8
Castles is more of a receiver right now, as he splits out wide at Rider and uses his size to create huge disadvantages against high school defenders. At 6'7 with decent athleticism and long arms, he is going to be an option to turn to in the red-zone.
