by Greg Katz: LOS ANGELES -- As the USC Trojans take a week off from spring practice for Spring Break, one of the bright spots thus far has been the play of sophomore safety John Plattenburg, who is working hard to help reinvent a defense that is striving to overcome the losses of All-America defensive tackle Leonard Williams and standout middle linebacker Hayes Pullard. Seeing significant action as a true freshman at safety and on special teams, Plattenburg started six of the Trojans' final seven games, three times as a free safety and three times as a strong safety. Overall, he appeared in 10 games, although a strained thigh caused him to miss the game against California. Click here to read the full story at the ESPN USC blog
