Jalen Phillips will be a force--Miami Herald Article

[1953]

Diaz calls former elite recruit Jaelan Phillips “kind of a forgotten man” because nobody mentions him much. But he’s very much in UM’s plans for 2020.​

​

The former UCLA player’s “body was completely transformed by David Feeley,” Diaz told WQAM. “He’s gone from 220 to mid 260s in the time he’s been here.”​

​

He was rated Rivals’ No. 2 weak-side defensive end and No. 6 overall prospects in the 2017 class out of East Valley High in Redlands, California.​

​

“Recovery has been great,” Phillips said on Twitter. “I’m fully healthy and ready to go... I just want to play football again already.”​

Maybe, but I recall many porsters saying the same thing about T. Hill and company.

Hill was a great player. But was he the number one recruit in the country and returning punts and stuff in high school? This kid is a different athlete

He looked really small when he visited Miami back in the spring scrimmage honestly so he might not be lying

[Dan E. Dangerously]

He gonna be flexed out wide to cover RB's in the flat like Garvin, or nah?

 

[caneaddict]

watch this guy not start til the 4th game after patchan starts first

 

[tvo1993]

I sure hope so but I'm done getting hyped for what "will happen next year". That way I won't be so ****ed if it doesn't happen.

 

[The Franchise]

Of course Manure has to give Feeley credit for Phillips. And lol at him putting on 40 good pounds in less than a year.

as long as it ain’t the kinda pounds deejay put on

 

[Tad Footeball]

If you're a slave to recruiting rankings then Phillips was equivalent or higher ranked coming out of high school than our beloved Justin Flowe.....so I fully anticipate him to be next year's Lingard and not see any significant action and be tweeting about how he's 100%. The Lispy Loser will conveniently forget how much of a miracle healer he deemed Mr. McFeeley on this front too.

 

[SinisterCane]

Patch had his chance and I hope he doesnt get a 12th year granted from the NCAA
