Garrett Phillips '18 Recruiting Profile

I enjoy playing several sports. I play basketball and baseball, but i tend to enjoy football the most. I have been fortunate to participate in summer or select leagues in both baseball and basketball. I understand the importance of being in shape for all sports and also understand each sport requires a different type of work or training. I play hard at every sport. I was recently called "a bull in a china shop" on the basketball court. I have also been in a position to not be playing and learned to be the best team mate i can, even on the sideline. I lift weights when possible and have realized the best time to run in East Texas is at night. 

During my free time I try to be a kid. I enjoy spending time with my friends and giving my little sister a hard time. I work for a family business once a month, selling corn dogs and lemonade. Of course there is time for TV and relaxation, like fishing. I go to my grandparents and fish for bass, crappie, and catfish. 

As far as goals, i would like to go to a University that will provide me with a opportunity to play.  Playing time is important, but in the long run the education will be the most important.  NFL would be great, but again even if i was that fortunate, the education is still the long term solution.
