Career so Far

During his freshman season at ASU, Plaster shared kickoff duties for the first half of the season before an injury cut the year short. Plaster redshirted in 2020.

Following the 2020 season, Plaster joined the Sooners; he did not see playing time in 2021 or 2022.

In 2023, Plaster took on punting duties for the Sooners. Midway through the season, however, Luke Elzinga took the job. Plaster did perform the holding duties in all 13 games.

This Season

Plaster is back for year number six in college. He will likely continue to man the holder spot, but Luke Elzinga seems locked into the punter role.
