Four-star DB will be in Austin April 6

A week after Hightower (Texas) High's Kade Phillips locked in an official visit to Texas June 21-23, the OnTexasFootball 4-star has locked in an unofficial visit in April.

The 6-1.5, 180 pound versatile defensive back with an 80 inch wingspan and 10 inch hands told OnTexasFootball he is scheduled to be in Austin April 6 for the Longhorns big visit weekend around spring practice. 

The visit to Texas will come shortly after Phillips' first ever visit to LSU. Phillips will visit the Tigers March 26 around spring practice, and is scheduled to return to Baton Rouge for an official visit June 14-16. 

Phillips has also locked in a third official visit. The younger brother of former Texas A&M linebacker signee Kenneth Phillips is locked in to visit Texas A&M June 7-9. 

Texas is in a solid position headed into the visits with LSU and Texas A&M seriously in the mix.

Phillips added an offer from Missouri Sunday.

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.
