Louisiana Tech’s electric return-man-turned-playmaker
Phillip Livas has long been a big-play threat for Louisiana Tech, and in the 2010 season he tied the NCAA record with eight career return touchdowns while also flashing as a receiver and gadget weapon. His calling card is instant acceleration, open-field vision, and game-breaking special-teams impact — the kind of juice that changes field position and momentum in a blink. At just 5-foot-7, he was never built like a prototype, but that was part of the fun: compact, fearless, and hard to corral. He fits best with teams that value explosiveness, versatility, and return-game value.
