Colorado State transfer Devin Phillips is currently visiting Temple, OwlScoop.com has learned.
Phillips is a grad transfer that racked up 101 tackles, 13.0 TFL and 7.5 sacks during his time at CSU, which included 39 starts. Since entering the portal, the 6-foot-2, 290-pound Phillips has claimed offers from Nebraska, Oklahoma State, Tulane and Kansas. The Nebraska offer came from the old staff, not Rhule.
Phillips is a very good run defender, as Pro Football Focus had him ranked as the #3 best run-defending DT in the MWC in 2021 and the second best DT in 2020.
The obvious connection here is Temple defensive line coach Antoine Smith, who was Phillips’ coach at CSU for two seasons.
