“They’ve been on me quite hard with their recruitment,” said Phillip, who recently had members of the West Virginia staff by the school to watch him throw.”
“My relationship with Coach Rhett is solid,” he continued. “Also, having someone like Pat White on staff is exciting. Him having experience in Rich Rodriguez’s program is a plus. The fact that he excelled at a high level is helpful and encouraging to me as I look to transition from a similar high school offense to the college level.”

“Some highlights were discussing their vision for me and how I would fit into their offense,” Phillip has said. “I also enjoyed sitting down with the creator of the zone read, discussing how it’s evolved over time. I enjoyed watching the competition between offense and defense and seeing similar plays that I’ve run in the past. I also paid close attention to how the quarterbacks led and executed the offense. I liked seeing the quarterbacks operate the offense, as well as the connections that I have with the coaching staff.”
