Tony Phillips brings burst and versatility to Grambling’s backfield
In the 2025 season, Grambling State RB Tony Phillips showed compact-playmaker traits, finishing with 30 rushing attempts for 99 yards and 1 rushing TD, while also contributing on returns with 142 kick-return yards and a punt-return score.[3][6][9] At 5-foot-7 and 150 pounds, he’s a small but quick, multi-use back whose value goes beyond carries: his special-teams juice, speed, and ability to create something from limited touches make him an intriguing fit for a team needing an energetic change-of-pace weapon.[4][13]
