Briarwood Christian School Graduate Stars in “Woodlawn”
Photos special to the Journal
Caleb Castille took experiences he had playing football at Briarwood Christian School and applied them to his starring role in the new movie “Woodlawn.” Castille, who graduated from Briarwood in 2010, plays Tony Nathan in the true story of how the Woodlawn High School football team pulled together in the post-desegregation world
of 1973. During a recent interview with Briarwood video production students, Castille reflected on his time at the school, including playing for the state championship his sophomore year, according to a press release from Briarwood. “Briarwood was the first place I played football,” Castille said. “I took those skills I learned playing offense here and applied them to the film.” “I made some of my lifelong friends here, Briarwood is a great blessing in
my life in a lot of ways,” he said. After graduating from Briarwood, Castille went on to play for the University of Alabama, following in the footsteps of his two older brothers and father, Jeremiah Castille. Nathan, too, played at the University of Alabama and later for the NFL. Briarwood’s football team was able to participate in an advance screening of the film, which premiered earlier this month. The movie is a faith-based production by the Birmingham-based Erwin Brothers. ❖
