Michael Phillips brought heat off the edge — and a knack for chaos
Michael Phillips is a Lafayette defensive lineman best remembered for turning disruption into production: in the 2009 season opener, he forced two fumbles, recovered one, and was cited as the nation’s leader in forced fumbles at that point. That’s the kind of edge-player profile coaches love — high-motor, handsy, and built to wreck clean pocket timing. The downside: the available public info is limited and dated, so there’s not enough recent, verified 2026 performance data here to judge current form. If you want a defensive piece with intensity and splash-play upside, he fits the vibe.
