"Late June I talked to coach Martinez and he told me they were interested in me and they wanted to build a relationship with me so ever since then we've kept in contact and he's gotten to know me more," Plattenburg said. "I ended up coming back to Texas and my old high school from California and my offer letters started coming in and my Tennessee offer was in there and I gave them a call and it was cool because they didn't tell me but I saw the letter so it was a surprise."
The offer now has Plattenburg thinking more serious about Tennessee as well.
"I'm still thinking about taking a visit up there and seeing what they have to offer because I've heard it's nice and I'd like to get a chance to see what it's like up there and see what it's all about," Plattenburg said.
"I can say a lot of it is about atmosphere," Plattenubrg said as to why he's interested in the Vols. "I saw the coaches come and leave and I've seen coach Jones come in and it's not really about the coaches. The school, the fan base, are really behind the program and they weren't really discouraged. They have a lot of talent they're just trying to find all the coaches to guide them in the right direction so they can take that next step. To me, that says a lot about the school, not just the football team, and it seems like a caring atmosphere, the ups and the downs."
