Troy Phillips gives UT Martin a vertical threat at tight end
Phillips’ 2024 production was low-volume but explosive: 6 catches for 239 yards, a 39.8 yards-per-catch mark that ranked first among 235 tight ends in the provided stat set, showing clear big-play upside[1]. That kind of efficiency makes him intriguing if you want a tight end who can stress safeties and create chunk plays rather than pile up short receptions[1]. The catch: the available data is thin, so his role, consistency, and all-around usage are harder to evaluate, but the ceiling is obvious for a team looking for a mismatch weapon[1][2].
