One of Auburn’s top linebacker targets is set to come off the board this week. Four-star linebacker [autotag]Joseph Phillips[/autotag] announced on Twitter Wednesday afternoon that he plans to commit on Thursday at noon.
He will decide among Auburn, Georgia, Clemson, Tennessee and Texas A&M.
Phillips is from nearby Tuskegee, Alabama, and has visited Auburn multiple times since it was the first school to offer him a scholarship on Nov. 2, 2022.
He has blown up since then with over 20 offers and become the No. 126 overall player and No. 10 linebacker in the 247Sports composite. He is the No. 8 player from Alabama.
Georgia is also pushing hard for the 6-foot-2, 251-pounder. He is fresh off an official visit to Athens, and it sounds like his choice is between Auburn and Georgia.
Committing tomorrow @ 12 😤😤!@ChadSimmons_ @SWiltfong247 @ALLGASATHLETES @On3Recruits @RyanWrightRNG @CoachLAoneal12 pic.twitter.com/pQw6QySXBM
