per ESPN:
Limegrover said the staff didn't quite know what it had in Plsek after signing him, as he lined up everywhere from running back to offensive line to linebacker in high school. The coaches were pleasantly surprised by his quick grasp of the tight end position, where he played as a true freshman.
Though labeled as an all-block, no-hands guy early in his career, Plsek has made progress as a receiver. In the Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl against Missouri, Limegrover called a passing play where Williams would be split out wide and serve as the No. 1 look. Because of a personnel mixup, Plsek was in the game instead of Williams. Minnesota stuck with the original call, and Plsek caught a nine-yard pass.
Goodger has graduated, so the 6-foot-4, 266-pound Plsek is in line to take even more reps this season. He is hoping for big things in his senior campaign and can't wait for the opener against TCU, a school he followed while growing up in West. No matter what, because of what happened two years ago, he'll have his hometown in his heart.
"I can tell he really appreciates it now when he comes home and can just be with his family," Jennifer Plsek said. "It's one of those good things that comes out of tragedy: It makes you stop and think about what's important in life."
