East Noble’s 5’11, 170 lber. Alex Phillips Alex Phillips 5'11" | 170 lbs | QB East Noble | 2027 State IN has been tearing it up in the JV ranks in 2023 and earning varsity reps for his efforts, which has to do both with his football acumen as well as athletic profile. Possessing solid speed on the track (11.4 100M and 52.79 400M going into high school), Phillips has manned the QB, RB, safety, and returner roles in 2023 and has been dynamic and productive wherever he’s lined up. Good burst and vision as a ball carrier, where he’s played at when bumped up to varsity, also possesses touch and a decent arm when slotting in as a QB. The speed shows up when he takes the corner on an opposing defense, and he’s fun to watch and has a knack for finding the endzone or creating a splash play no matter what position he’s at. I’d expect him to be a full-time varsity contributor next fall as a sophomore and I can’t wait to see the track times he posts this spring.

Hailing from an under estimated football state in Indiana, Alex is quarterback that shows some promise in this 2027 recruiting class. He did a lot of everything everything this past season for Dekalb Middle School. The 5-foot-10, 150-pounder helped Dekalb finish undefeated and bring home the Northeast Eight Conference title. Further stamping his season, Alex was named Offensive Player of the Year and Team MVP.  He’s a threat in both the run game and the pass game. He has no problem dropping the ball into the perfect place for his wideouts whether he is dropping back or sprinting out in pass game. When Alex is on the run, he has the speed to outrun almost everyone on the field and does a great job reading defensive linemen and finding open lanes to pick up large chunks of yards. Overall, it is clear that Alex nightmare for defenses and is a dream player for almost any offensive coordinator to get creative with. There is a lot of upside to his game and he certainly has the potential to be a scary dual-threat Quarterback for the rest of the Hoosier State to deal with.
