Early life and high school career

Castleton grew up in DeLand, Florida and attended Father Lopez Catholic High School in Daytona Beach, Florida. As a senior he averaged 24.5 points, 11.7 rebounds and 5.6 blocks per game and was named a finalist for Florida's Mr. Basketball Award and the Class 7A Player of the Year.[1] Castleton was rated as a four-star recruit and committed to play college basketball at Michigan over Illinois after also considering offers from Clemson, Georgia, Purdue, Florida, Florida State and Xavier.[2]

College career

Castleton played in 19 games as a true freshman and averaged 1.1 points and 1.1 rebounds per game.[3] As a sophomore he averaged 3.1 points on 54% shooting and 2.4 rebounds over 25 games played, all off the bench.[4] Following the end of the season Castleton entered the transfer portal and ultimately transferred to the University of Florida, which had offered him a scholarship coming out of high school.[5][6]

Castleton was granted a waiver to make him eligible to play for the Florida Gators immediately rather than have to sit out one season per NCAA transfer rules.[7] He was named second team All-Southeastern Conference after averaging 12.4 points and 6.4 rebounds with a conference-high 2.3 blocks per game during the regular season.[8][9] Following the season, Castleton declared for the 2021 NBA draft while maintaining his college eligibility.[10] He ultimately opted to withdraw from the draft and return to Florida.[11] On November 14, 2021, Castleton recorded 15 points, a career-high 16 rebounds and six blocks in a 71–55 win against Florida State.[12] He was named to the Second Team All-SEC as a senior.[13]
