Plummer is this week's guest on the High School Football Coaches Podcast. Hear his entire conversation — his trip down memory lane from his youth and high school playing days, how his Capital coach helped his Arizona State recruiting and how ReadyList Sports helps coaches make better use of precious practice time – with host Steve Montoya in the video below.

"I've been blessed with some great coaches ... that helped me have success," Plummer tells Montoya. "To the coaches out there, keep doing that. There's a small moment for them to play high school sports and the more enjoyable you can make that, win or lose ... the life lessons we take are so important."

Recently chosen as one of the five most dominant prep athletes in Idaho history, Plummer was an All-State quarterback for the Eagles, throwing for more than 6,000 yards in his junior and senior seasons.



At Arizona State, he was third in the Heisman Trophy voting his senior year and became a second-round draft pick of the Arizona Cardinals. He played six years in Arizona and four with Denver, making one Pro Bowl and finishing his career with 29,253 yards passing.
