Phillips got his feet wet in part-time duty on the Clarinda varsity in 2025 while also developing on the program’s sophomore squad. The experience could lead to larger contributions as a junior after posting 3.0 tackles (all solo), eight catches for 63 yards and a two-point conversion this past fall. Phillips looks packed with potential when we watch his 10th-grade highlight video. On it, we witness a versatile receiver that’s effective lining up on the outside or in the slot. He benefits from long strides and long arms with a frame capable of filling out without the loss of athleticism or speed. Phillips is a fluid athlete that runs well in coverage and gets sideline to sideline quickly as a linebacker.
