Top247 junior defensive end Kyle Phillips of Hillsboro High School in Nashville, Tenn. — who’s ranked the state’s No. 3 overall prospect in the industry-generated 247Sports Composite for the 2015 class — was among the high-priority targets in attendance, returning to Tennessee for the third time in less than five months


The Vols have emerged as one of the early favorites for Phillips, and Saturday’s visit did nothing to change that. He said the junior day allowed him to get an even better feel for Tennessee coach Butch Jones, linebackers coach Tommy Thigpen, defensive line coach Steve Stripling and the rest of the Vols’ staff. Phillips said Jones stayed with him “just about the whole time,” making it abundantly clear to Phillips that he’s one of UT’s top targets in the 2015 class. In fact, Tennessee went out of its way to deliver that message to Phillips. He said the Vols talked with him about being the “center of the recruiting class,” and he admitted “that was kind of eye-opening.” Phillips appears to be a high-priority target for a number of schools, with more than 20 offers already under his belt. But it’s safe to say Tennessee has recruited him as aggressively as any team to this point


Phillips said his father accompanied him on the trip, making his first visit to Tennessee, and he “liked it a lot.” It’s also worth noting that Phillips’ grandfather is a UT fan. He posted on his Twitter account more than two weeks ago that his grandfather “sent me a UT hat in the mail.” The 6-foot-4, 255-pound Phillips has been consistent in saying that he doesn’t expect to decide on a college for at least a few more months, but Tennessee still appears to be in good shape with him right now. He said he might visit the Vols again as early as this spring.

Just a matter of time IMO. We really need this guy. You win in the trenches. We did a good job recruiting the d-line last year and with another good class this year we will finally be on our way to having great depth/talent there again. I have no doubt that CBJ and co. will get us back there.
