Tennessee senior defensive end Kyle Phillips was named a semifinalist for the second annual Jason Witten Collegiate Man of the Year award on Thursday. Phillips is among 20 of the nation's top leaders in college football. Compiled by a subset of the Jason Witten Collegiate Man of the Year Selection Committee, the semifinalists have all demonstrated a record of leadership by exhibiting exceptional courage, integrity and sportsmanship both on and off the field. Three finalists will be named for the award on Monday, December 10. The winner will be announced at the award ceremony on February 12, 2018, at The Star in Frisco, Texas.

A semifinalist for the 2018 Campbell Trophy and a 2018 Allstate AFCA Good Works Team nominee, Phillips has been outstanding on and off the field during his four-year career with Vols. He is a member of the SEC Academic Honor Roll and is a three-time Vol Scholar. Phillips completed his undergraduate degree requirements a year early and is pursuing a master's degree in sport management. He was inducted into the Omicron Delta Kappa (ODK) National Leadership Honor Society and named to the 2017 SEC Community Service Team. He was also inducted into the 2016-17 VOLeaders Academy Class that took and part in a 13-day study-abroad trip to Vietnam.

Congratulations, Kyle. This team seems to earn a lot of awards and recognition for a team coming from a dismal past season. Good for them. Good for us. Good for VolNation. Go Vols!

The honor coincides nicely with Phillips becoming a major force on the field, too. Good for him. Odds are he becomes a great alum and ambassador for UT.
