[autotag]Joseph Phillips[/autotag], a four-star linebacker from nearby Tuskegee, recently announced his top five college choices, and Auburn made the list. Phillips included Auburn in a list that features three other SEC programs in Georgia, Tennessee, and Texas A&M, with Clemson bringing up the rear.

Auburn is an overwhelming favorite to land Phillips, as the Tigers have one crystal ball prediction from 247Sports, and On3’s Recruiting Prediction Machine gives Auburn a 97.7% chance to earn his commitment. The coaching staff’s persistence has been vital in the Tigers becoming the favorite.

“I’d say (Auburn is) pushing pretty hard,” Phillips said in a recent interview with Auburn Undercover. “Any chance they get they want me to come up here, which is a good thing. I want to feel wanted, I say it all the time, it’s like having a girlfriend.”

Phillips is a four-star linebacker from Booker T. Washington High School in Tuskegee. According to 247Sports, Phillips is the No. 18 prospect from the state of Alabama for the 2024 class. The 6-3, 225-pound product recorded 75 tackles last season, with 19 being for loss.

According to Christian Clemente of Auburn Undercover, Phillips will announce his commitment this summer after he takes his five unofficial visits.

2024 4-star LB Joseph Phillips includes Texas A&M in his Top 5 program list

The Aggies have made the Top 5 program list for rising 2024 4-star linebacker Joseph Phillips

Texas A&M has found itself on yet another Top 5 program for a prospect out of the 2024 recruiting class, this time being four-star linebacker Joseph Phillips out of Booker T. Washington High School in Tuskegee, Alabama.

According to 247Sports, Phillips is ranked as the 16th EDGE and 18th player in the 2024 cycle. Out of his Top 5, the Aggies are in competition with Auburn, Tennesee, Clemson, and Georgia. Texas A&M offered Phillips back in November of last year, while the rising defensive prospect took an unofficial visit to College Station on April 6.

During his 2022 junior season at Booker T. Washington, Phillips recorded 75 tackles, 19 tackles for loss, 9 sacks, 4 pass breakups, and 2 forced fumbles, while netting 29 receptions, 336 receiving yards, and 6 touchdowns as a receiver on offense.

His tape is simply a horror show for any offensive lineman who had to face him, lined up off the edge as a stand-up pass rusher, Phillips’ terrorizing speed and athleticism paired with his 6-3, 225-pound frame begs the question, how did he only have 9 sacks last season? Either way, expect big things from Joseph Phillips during his 2023 senior season.

Texas A&M made the cut, and that’s all that matters heading into their big recruiting push this summer, which will hopefully include another campus visit sooner than later.
