Sergio Phillips is an 6’3″, 300 pound offensive guard from DeSoto High School in DeSoto, Texas.  Sergio is ranked the 52nd best offensive guard in the class of 2013 and is ranked 3 stars by scout.com. Phillips held offers from Memphis, New Mexico, New Mexico State and San Diego State. Phillips held interest in Baylor, Boise State, California, Kansas State, LSU, Missouri, North Texas, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Oregon State, Stanford, TCU, Texas A&M, Texas Tech, and West Virginia.

The following is a Q&A session we were able to have with Sergio Phillips.

Question: Does the fan base of the university make an impact on your recruitment?

Phillips: Yes I love a fan base, I want them to follow me @TheyCallMeSerg

Question: As an offensive line man, you receive no credit for the successful plays and you are criticized when you make a noticeable mistake. What is your favorite job as a member of the offensive line? Pass blocking? Run blocking?

Phillips: ”Run Blocking” is my specialty you get to run of the ball and go attack, and expect me to put you on your back.

Question: Name a college or NFL athlete that people compare you to. What college or NFL athlete do you idolize and how do their skill sets match yours?

Phillips: I feel that I can compare myself to Ndamukong Suh the Detroit lions defensive tackle, because we have the same personality even though he plays on the defense side of the ball.
