About Phillips Updated Jul 24, 2026

Jaylen Phillips brings NFL-caliber length, burst, and pass-rush upside to Sam Houston's linebacker room

Phillips stands out as a high-upside, disruptive defender whose best traits are size, range, and the ability to affect the quarterback rather than just pile up routine tackles. The biggest question for any team is durability and how consistently he can translate his athletic tools into week-to-week production, but when healthy he profiles as a difference-maker with clear power-conference-level traits.
