Dwight Phillips

As a College Recruit

All-purpose back with true game-breaking speed as one of the very fastest prospects in the 2024 cycle. Measured at around 5-foot-10, 175 pounds in the off-season prior to his senior year. Has elite speed as a sprinter in track and field. Won the Georgia 7A state title in the 100 meters as a sophomore with a 10.43 second mark. Followed that up with a second place showing as a junior with a scintillating 10.24 second time. 40-yard dash has been clocked in the 4.2’s by college staffs. Transfers the high-end straight line speed to the field. Primarily plays as a running back in spread sets out of the shotgun. Uses his speed to beat defenders to the edge. More of a one-cut downhill runner between the tackles. Easily pulls away from defenders once at the second level. Has shown solid receiving skills out of the backfield and in 7-on-7. Will need to continue adding mass and strength to his smaller frame to be an every down back. May end up as a change-of-pace type who can move around in different roles at the college level. Can increase his production to be on par with most blue-chip backs. Has very strong athletic pedigree with his father being an Olympic gold medalist in the long jump.
