Michigan State football loses OL, likely for season

MSU has likely lost their starting right guard for the season:

Michigan State football was without starting right guard, Kris “Big Dooley” Phillips during Saturday’s game against Maryland. Phillips absence was the result of a lower body injury suffered during the Spartans’ opening-week win against Florida Atlantic.

While the injury was supposed to sideline Phillips for a few weeks, at a minimum, MSU head coach Jonathan Smith noted after the win against Maryland that the injury will likely sideline Phillips for the season.

Michigan State will look to Gavin Broscious and Dallas Fincher to fill the void left by Phillips.

Kris Phillips signs NLI to Michigan State football

The first commit of MSU’s 2022 recruiting class has inked his NLI to Michigan State!

The first commitment in the 2022 recruiting class was Georgia native Kris Phillips. The Spartans beat out Arizona State for the commitment oh Phillips and now, he has made it official, signing his national letter of intent.

Player Profile

Position: Offensive Line

Height/Weight: 6’4″/350 pounds

Hometown: Conyers, Georgia

High School: Salem High School

247Sports Composite ranking: 3-Star, No. 1,027 nationally

Analysis: At 6-foot-4 and 350 pounds, Phillips is a massive force on the offensive line, and will have the size and strength to play both the tackle and guard spots. I project him to be a guard, but it could go either way. How Phillips reacts to the strength and conditioning program will play a huge role in his development at MSU.

Stay tuned to Spartans Wire for all of your signing day coverage!

Phillips will have this upcoming summer and his senior season to further boost his ranking. Coach Chris Kapilovic identified Phillips early in the process and it is proving to be a big-time get for the Spartans.
