Kent State’s Ezekiel Castex brings length, youth, and upside to the back end
Ezekiel Castex enters the 2026 season as a redshirt freshman DB for Kent State, listed at 5-foot-10, 175 pounds, with a profile that screams developmental upside rather than proven production. He’s a clean fit for a team looking for speed, tackling willingness, and future growth in the secondary; however, there’s limited public game-film/stat evidence so far, so the main draw is projection, not résumé. In a depth-chart sense, he appears to be a young piece with room to climb if his instincts and reliability sharpen.
