"I was very excited when he offered me," Phillips told OnTexasFootball Sunday night. "I had kind of seen it coming, but at the same I didn't. Coach Gideon offered me. We were talking and he told me that he had gone back and watched my film again. And he wanted to offer me. He thanked for me being patient." The offer to Phillips is his 27th, including nine since January. The January offer list included Stanford, LSU, TCU, SMU and California. Arizona and Texas have offered in February.

Moderators Gerry Hamilton Posted February 19 Author Moderators Share Posted February 19 Some Power 5 schools are recruiting Phillips at corner, and some safety. Blake Gideon is the area recruiter for Hightower High. The Longhorns like the versatility of Phillips with eye on safety. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Moore Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 Blake took until after OU weekend to offer Filsaime so this is way ahead of schedule. Kidding! He has a couple of qualities you can't coach with good size and a 22.4 200M. Outside of Brew, DB is the one position where the board feels murkiest. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Gerry Hamilton Posted February 19 Author Moderators Share Posted February 19 And Kade Phillips is scheduled to be in the Austin area March 23-24 for 7v7. So a stop by Texas on Friday the 22nd is certainly possible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did his brother going there help, hurt or no impact on his chances of ending up in CS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
