Looks like he redshirted in 2015, played sparingly in 2016, then got to start some games last year when the starting left tackle went down. Then this year he was projected to be the starter at Left Guard until Va Tech moved their starting center to left guard and moved another player into the starting center spot. Plantin then played in just a couple games this year and decided to seek a grad transfer.

Looks like he has decided to take the semester to focus on graduating and deciding where he is going to play next year. Again, grad transfer so he will be eligible immediately but will count towards the class so we would need to blueshirt one of the current commits.

Idk if I like using a scolly on a one year guy unless he's proven he can play. That being said I won't be upset when we add olineman

This is interesting.   Watching his high school tape he looks more like a guard than a tackle.  He didn't seem to have the quickest feet in pass protection.

Added bonus with the Plantin pickup is that he’ll be here for spring ball. I think we should move Woodworth to left tackle, then have a three-man competition for the two tackle spots between Woodworth, Brammer, and Plantin.

If Woodworth is the odd man out then you start him at left guard. If Plantin is the odd man out then you let him compete with Preston (I like his game) for the left guard spot. Then if Brammer is the odd man out then stick with Preston at left guard. The Mose brothers have center and right guard solidified.

That’s a decent group to help maximize Fine’s senior year and keep him upright more than he was this year.

I like this, but who takes Mayfield's spot?

      We do alright with the North Texas chant sometimes, we just need to make it a staple and I think people will do it.

      State fans showed up because they rightfully expected to win in this game. If the AD thinks they're going to depend on people to show up just cause NT has a team there, they are dead wrong. There are a few, but there are many many more who will not show up when they don't think their team will win. There are too many obligations and opportunities to devote precious time and money watching a team lose.

      After Morris and Sheffield transferred, how many here were actually expecting to win? Many of us were just hoping TXST didn't handle us like they did UTSA this year or Rice in last year's First Responder Bowl. Sure, it's the head coach's job to have his team ready to play and in position to win regardless of the adversity faced, but it's still incredible the performance Mestemaker had. Tonight was better than any game C. Morris has had since Memphis. Coastal Carolina lost their starting QB to the portal and got dog walked in their bowl game against UTSA in their own building. Yes, the loss increases our bowl futility streak to an active high, and it sucks to lose to an intrastate program in an inferior conference, but that shouldn't take away from Drew's game. The biggest disappointment to me was how badly we were outnumbered by TXST fans. We went from packing the lower level of the Cotton Bowl to being matched ON OUR OWN SIDE. Like our team, our fans also struggle to wear green. However, there should be optimism surrounding next season. Eric made a poor hire with his first DC obviously, but made the tough (but right) call in getting rid of him. Next year's presumed starter will be in his last year of eligibility, so no losing another 4000 yard passed before the bowl game. If we struggle to another 6/7-win season and bowl loss with next year's schedule, I think Eric's seat should be pretty hot again.

      So a lot of you think that NT is not deserving of your valuable fandom. I actually was proud of the team that continue to battle with a completely revamped lineup including a completely untested QB. Yeah and spare me the low expectations accusations that are usually leveled at anyone that dares to not rave and rant about a loss.
