Phillips will put Irmo pads in a game for the first time this August, but he’s anything but green. During the last two years at Cape Fear (N.C.), the tailback rushed for 1,799 yards and 23 touchdowns in just 19 games. Did we mention he didn’t play a game in his junior year until October after suffering a broken leg in the offseason? 

Phillips is a true burner, as the baker’s dozen worth offers he got before transferring to the Midlands started off in force after he put up some blazing 100-meter times as a sophomore track sprinter. He’s also got some pretty staggering cutting ability, especially in the split seconds after taking a handoff.

But he didn’t attract some of college football’s blue bloods on speed alone. In his first day at Irmo, he weighed in at 197 pounds and had a 5-foot-10 frame to match. He’s proved he doesn’t mind sharing the football, but you better believe he’s an instant priority for the Yellow Jackets.
