Will Phillips brings old-school fullback grit to Rice
Will Phillips is a 6-foot-4, 251-pound fullback for Rice whose game is built on size, physicality, and willingness to do the dirty work rather than chase eye-popping volume; Rice’s roster lists him as a redshirt sophomore, while ESPN’s player page shows career stats of 5 carries for 11 yards and 1 touchdown[1][2]. In the season notes available, he’s been used as a lead blocker and short-yardage option, which makes him the kind of throwback piece that can help a team’s run game and special situations if you want toughness, reliability, and a low-drama locker-room fit[1][4].
