Northwestern’s 6-5, 255-pound superback who brought versatility and toughness
Plasencia’s Northwestern profile lists him at 6-5 and 255 pounds, and his college role centered on the superback spot, a hybrid TE/HB position that rewards physicality, versatility, and selfless football more than flash[1][2]. In the 2011 season, he appeared in nine games primarily on special teams, which suggests a player trusted for effort and assignments rather than box-score volume[1]. His standout differentiator is adaptability: he was recruited as a tight end, carried a multi-sport-style defensive background in high school, and was valued enough to see the field even as injuries ultimately ended his playing career after that season[1][5].
