Castille, 48, was born in Columbus, Ga. He was a defensive back at the University of Alabama, playing on the last team coached by the legendary Bear Bryant. Castille was a pallbearer at Bryant’s funeral on Jan. 28, 1983.
Castille was selected by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the third round of the 1983 NFL draft. He played in six seasons in the NFL from 1983-1988 for the Buccaneers and Denver Broncos.
According to his biography, Castille felt a call from God to mentor, coach and minister to young people from the inner city and was ordained as a minister of the gospel in 2001.
Jeremiah Castille Community Development Center focuses on children ages 7 to 18 and provides a Christian environment to challenge the inner-city youth to excel and provide positive role models in their communities.
In addition to youth development, Jeremiah Castille Foundation projects and services include: Collegiate Campus Ministry, Sports Character Camps, Men of Stille, Chaplain University of Alabama Football, Jeremiah Castille Ministry, Community and Corporate Speaking and Book Bag Give-a-Way.
Jeremiah Castille Ministry provides ministerial programs for marriage, family and individual Biblical counseling, individual and group discipleship, motivational speaking forums and evangelist engagements.
