Saw Phillips in action tonight. He’s definitely bigger than the 171 pounds we have him listed at - I’d say closer to the 190 range.
Phillips ran a kickoff back for a touchdown, then had a slow go of it for the next quarter. He then left the game after suffering a right ankle injury in the second quarter. Phillips was on the ground in some serious pain for a while before being helped off, putting very little weight on that right foot.
Eventually, Phillips ended up on a pair of crutches.
I did speak with him briefly. Phillips said he is NOT enrolling early at Georgia, instead electing to run track for Pebblebrook next spring. His goal is to run a sub-10 second time in the 100-meter dash.
