Robert Castaneda enjoyed Friday on a relaxing beach in Port Arthur, Texas. Minimal time on a cellphone or tablet, and nothing but the sounds of water and sand meeting on occasion. For Castaneda, there were no worries whatsoever.
It was the perfect way for the Round Rock, Texas, offensive lineman to celebrate his most recent accomplishment. Castaneda verbally committed to Kansas State late Thursday. He was the Wildcats’ second commitment of the 2014 class, but after Friday, he was the first of two weekend pledges.
