Busbee Phillips brings versatile, high-effort secondary depth to Wake Forest
In the 2024 season, Phillips is a 5-foot-11, 194-pound defensive back who arrived at Wake Forest after a productive all-around high school career and early college development, finishing with 85 career tackles, 46 solo stops, 3 tackles for loss and 2 interceptions for the Demon Deacons. Recruiting services listed him as a safety/corner hybrid, and that versatility shows why he’s appealing: he has the size to play physical and the range to handle coverage duties. He looks like a good fit for a team that values dependable, flexible DBs with special-teams value and a nose for contact.
