🏈 Offensive Player to Watch — Week 2

Tai Philips | ATH/WR | Cape Fear High School | Class of 2027

Still just a sophomore, Tai Philips has quickly become one of the most coveted prospects in the country—not just North Carolina. With offers from Ohio State, Alabama, and a growing list of national powerhouses, Philips is firmly in the recruiting spotlight.

He’s got the 4.3 speed to take the top off any defense, and his route running, footwork, and field awareness are already elite. Whether he’s lining up out wide, in the slot, or in the return game, Philips is a threat to score anytime he touches the football.

Cape Fear will lean on his big-play ability this Friday in a game that could shape their playoff path early. With his national profile rising fast, expect every eye in the stadium—and beyond—to be locked in on No. 1.
