Tai Phillips told Touchdown Alabama he has a commitment date set for June 8.
Phillips currently attends Irmo High School in Irmo, South Carolina and most recruiting sites have him rated as a three-star recruit. He is expected to officially visit Florida State this weekend, and he will visit Alabama next weekend.
The Crimson Tide’s running back coach Robert Gillespie has placed the Tide in a great position with the talented back.
“He is like a mentor to me,” Phillips told Touchdown Alabama.
The Crimson Tide currently holds a commitment from one 2027 running back prospect in Nigel Newkirk. All signs point to the Tide wanting to add two running backs in this class.
At 5-foot-10 and 190 pounds, Phillips is a tenacious and explosive runner of the football who displays patience and vision while looking for space as he blocks develop. He reports a 4.26 40-yard dash time, and one can see flashes of his explosive speed when he presses the gas and explodes onto the open field after getting a carry.
