Castille was a senior at the University of Alabama and former cornerback for the Crimson Tide who quit the team after winning two national championships in 2013 to pursue acting. Castille recently recurred on the second season of the CBS All Access anthology thriller Tell Me a Story, as well as the first season of Hulu’s Wu-Tang: An American Saga. He previously starred in the Netflix feature The World We Make. Additional credits include the independent features Run the Race and Woodlawn, in which he starred opposite Jon Voight.

“We asked our casting directors Susan Bluestein and Jason Kennedy to find us a talented young actor, who was extremely funny, highly athletic, charismatic and had an incredible work ethic,” said Executive Producer Kyle Harimoto. “After they finished laughing at us, they started an exhaustive national casting search. We saw Caleb’s work, flew him out to meet with us and knew immediately that he was going to be the person to give life to FBI Agent Devin Rountree. And now that we have a two-time National Football Champion from the University of Alabama in our cast, we’d like to formally bring back the Entertainment Flag Football League.”
