Jaeden Phillips '26 Recruiting Profile

I've always loved competing and striving to be the best version of myself.  I have a great work ethic and I'm keenly aware there is always room for improvement; my coaches and mentors are helping me achieve my goals.  Football has almost always been a part of my life; I've been playing since I was 5 years old.  My dad has coached me for almost my entire football life and I really appreciate that; I think he's sort of molded me into the athlete and competitor I am today.

I am homeschooled and the team I play for is called Atlas Rattlers, based in Fort Worth.  It's an 11-man tackle football program for homeschool students (and students from small private schools that don't have football). We compete against other homeschool programs, prep schools (such as those in Southwest Preparatory Conference), and occasionally public schools at the 3A/4A level.  We finished 2nd in the nation in 2024.
