Josiah Castillo brings red-zone size and hometown upside to NMSU’s receiving room
In the 2026 season, freshman WR Josiah Castillo is a 6-foot-3, 190-pound New Mexico State newcomer from Roswell who flashed high-school production with 39 catches, 751 yards, and 11 touchdowns in 2025, plus 5A All-State recognition[1][2]. His selling point is obvious: length, frame, and end-zone finish ability make him a natural vertical and red-zone fit, especially for a team looking for immediate size at receiver[1][2]. The catch? Public college stat pages still show no recorded game stats yet, so this is more projection than proven production at the FBS level[1][3].
