Charleston Southern freshman LB Braylon Phillips is a small-sample, active-depth prospect with early defensive snaps
Braylon Phillips entered Charleston Southern as a freshman linebacker and has already logged action in the 2025 season, finishing with 2 total tackles, which suggests he’s getting early opportunities rather than sitting untouched on the bench[1]. At 6'0" and 185 pounds, he profiles more as a developmental, speed-and-effort defender than a finished product, so his appeal is upside: early exposure, active status, and room to add strength and range[1]. For a team, he looks like a fit if you want a young LB to develop behind veterans rather than an immediate plug-and-play starter[1].
