Post by uhwarriors »

Nice. Now another DE and OT would make this a great class.

TE/H-back is a recruiting priority....so would make sense. https://twitter.com/WSN_247Sports/status/1356764957447053313 https://twitter.com/calebsphillips/status/831368223383703552

Maybe another 2-way player (playing both TE and DE/OLB)....like La'ulu. https://twitter.com/pnphillips_paul/status/1201240351500992512

From Star-Advertiser....
The latest commitment is from Caleb Phillips, who will join the Warriors as a graduate transfer from Stanford. Phillips, who is 6 feet 5 and 231 pounds, played linebacker for the Cardinal but projects as a tight end for the Warriors.

“I’m really excited about the team,” Phillips said. “I love how the coaches all have a strong faith, which is really important to me. And being able to experience the culture. And being around some really awesome guys and a whole new experience I’m super excited about. They play really good football. Coach (Todd Graham) and (defensive coordinator Victor) Santa Cruz have been super awesome in this recruiting process. It feels like it’ll be a really good fit for me, and I couldn’t turn it down.”

At the end of this semester, Phillips will earn a degree in science, technology and society with a concentration in life science and health. He said he would like to pursue an MBA, with the long-term goal of working in the sales and marketing of medical devices.

Phillips will have two seasons of UH eligibility.

Here's Caleb Phillips high school video. He was 205 then, now 231. He runs well and is pretty athletic and physical for a 6-5 guy. I can see his potential as a TE.

This was a pretty good article in the HSA.

It seems like he's a football player willing to play anywhere besides tight end.

It's a still photo from the Na Koa photo gallery, but it looks like he runs well.

If he goes one on one against a defender and knows how to use his body between the defender and the ball, we've got a go to 3rd down and long receiver provided our QB puts a little air in the ball.
