Brandon Huffman notes Plattenburg is a Southern California kid who is coming home:

Plattenburg played at Corona (Calif.) Centennial as a 2012 junior before moving back to Texas.

As mentioned above he is a four-star CB and he has almost 20 offers from BCS programs including pretty much all Pac-12 programs, Oklahoma, Wisconsin and Tennessee.

Here are some highlights of him courtesy of ESPN from the NIke Football Training Camp in Oakland this summer:

And some highlights from his junior year at Corona Centennial:

John should be a solid addition to our defensive backfield. With him on board Bruins now have 13 commits for the class of 2013, which is currently ranked 36 th in the nation.
