Matt Castelo - First Filipino American Linebacker Signed By The Seattle Seahawks




After the NFL final draft round, the Seahawks quickly agreed to terms with 12 undrafted free agents. One of them was Filipino-American linebacker Matt Castelo of San Jose State University, California.

Castelo led the San Jose State Spartans in tackles for the second straight season with 141 in 2007, including 12 1/2 tackles for loss. The 5-10, 200-pound senior's 306 tackles since the start of the 2006 campaign are the most among Division I-A players. He made a career-high 21 stops at Louisiana Tech on Nov. 17.

Castelo is pictured in the middle and will be a backup to middle linebacker Lofa Tatupu.
