“Coach T was excited when I told him,” Phillips said, per 247Sports. “(Assistant coach Eric) Mathies said I can fit right in the system. He said I can catch short passes and get up the field quickly and get yardage for the Bulls. Coach (T.J.) Weist loved it when I told him, too.”
Phillips becomes the first member of USF’s 2017 class.
