Moderators Gerry Hamilton Posted February 27 Moderators Share Posted February 27 Four-star DB locks in Texas official visit Hightower (Texas) High defensive back Kade Phillips has locked in an official visit to Texas. The 6-1.5, 180 pound versatile defensive back with an 80 inch wingspan and 10 inch hands told OnTexasFootball he will make an official visit to Texas June 21-23. Phillips was offered by safeties coach and area recruiter Blake Gideon February 17. "The Texas offer meant a lot to me," Phillips told OnTexasFootball last week at Hightower High. "Texas is a big school, big culture and it meant a lot. It felt great. Coach Gideon came to see me multiple times. He came to track practice, came by the field house multiple times just to talk. Texas is going to be up there. Up there." Phillips attended Texas Junior day January 20. He has been on campus multiple times in the last year, including a game visit in 2023. Texas A&M and LSU remain the competition Phillips is the younger brother of former Texas A&M linebacker signee Kenneth Phillips, who had his career cut short after a devastating knee injury his senior season. He remains a student at Texas A&M. Kade Phillips was back on campus in College Station January 27 for Junior Day. "Coach (Mike) Elko just wants everybody to be part of the recruitment. Not just your position coach, but all of the coaches. He wants it to be one big family. They offered me at corner, but like my versatility. Wherever the team needs me is what they said." Phillips will make his first ever trip to LSU this spring. It's a visit that will be very key in the recruitment. "I'm in contact with Coach (Corey) Raymond every day. He's just checking in on me, seeing how I'm doing. I just know it's LSU. Big facility, big program. It will be a big visit fore me when I go down there." Arkansas, Oregon, Baylor and Kansas as schools also making runs right now. Phillips plans to commit prior to his senior season after June official visits.

Hookem97 Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 Personally, I think we need to keep attacking the secondary market, you can never have enough CB's/S even nickel guys like Derek Williams who can slide down to backer if need be. Hook'em! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
