“He went down there on a visit and came back real impressed and said ‘Coach I want to play down there,’ said Cantrell. “I told him to make sure that’s what he wanted and he did, so he committed.”
Phillips, who is 6-foot-3, 250 pounds was named to All-City South 2nd team as a senior. As a junior he registered 64 tackles and 10 sacks.
“Rusel was the most dominant defensive lineman for us this year. If he was a little bigger he would have been a lot more heavily recruited,” said Cantrell.
