It’s safe to say that Rashad Phillips made the right decision this fall.

Because of his outstanding performance at the wide receiver and defensive end positions, Phillips has received a handful of Division 1A scholarship offers.

“He’s got a first step that’s very, very quick,” Landstown head coach Chris Beatty said of Phillips. “Some teams like him on defense and some teams like him as a tight end. He’s a really good athlete and he’s a 6-4 guy who has lots of growth potential. He had a ton of sacks this year and he made 34 catches on offense, so he has soft hands.”

Phillips has received scholarship offers from Maryland, N.C. State, Syracuse, Virginia and, earlier this week, added one from Virginia Tech.
