Harrison Phillips 2018 NFL Draft Profile<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Harrison Phillips<\/a><\/strong> excelled on the gridiron in high school. But he was also a standout wrestler who lettered in all of his four years at Millard West High in Omaha, NE. It included winning a national heavyweight title as a junior. That uniquely tailored skill set he acquired as a grappler shows up in many of the traits he exhibits on the defensive front. Phillips received five scholarship offers from major programs including Nebraska. But he decided against staying in-state, instead heading out west to play for David Shaw<\/a><\/strong> at Stanford.<\/p>\n

Phillips played sparingly as a true freshman, appearing in just six games. Then he lost pretty much the entire 2015 season when he suffered a torn ACL in the season opener against Northwestern. A year later he made up for lost time, registering 10 tackles for loss and seven sacks, the latter of which was second on the team behind eventual 2017 third overall pick Solomon Thomas<\/a><\/strong>. But he truly put it all together in 2017 which is part of the reason he’s as highly regarded as he currently is among talent evaluators.<\/p>\n

Not only did Phillips lead all Cardinal players with 17 tackles for loss and 7.5 sacks, the former of which ranked second in the Pac-12 behind Hercules Mata’afa<\/a><\/strong>. He finished with 103 total tackles, an absurd number for a defensive lineman. In fact, no other defensive tackle\/end in FBS even eclipsed the century mark in tackles last season. As a result, Phillips made first-team All-Pac-12 as well as being named to the Associated Press All-American third team.<\/p>\n
