Bath County High School (VA) prospect John Phillips suffered an unfortunate ending to his junior season, tearing the ACL and MCL in his left knee in the final regular season game. There was some question as to how he would return from the injury this year, but Bath County Head Coach Will Fields says there is no cause for concern.

“I think so,” Fields replied when asked if Phillips was back to normal from the knee injury. “It’s not slowing him down any. He kind of hit the ground running as soon as he was cleared to play. He may have been a little tentative in the early practices, but once he mixed it up a little bit he was fine.”

The 6-6, 250-pound Phillips has already improved upon his catches and yards numbers from 2003. Phillips has tallied 28 catches for 547 yards and 3 touchdowns in 8 games. He has been a solid defensive end as well.

While tight end is his likely position on the next level, don’t rule out Phillips playing elsewhere.
