An outside hitter, Phillips is hitting .292 this season while averaging 5.6 kills and 3.5 digs per set. Her Mansfield High team has posted a 35-14 record. This past summer, Phillips started for a U.S. Women’s Junior National Team that won the NORCECA Continental Championship.
Phillips was joined on Team USA by future Texas teammates Logan Eggleston and Skylar Fields. Both Phillips and Field can officially sign with Texas on Nov. 14. Eggleston skipped her senior year of high school and is currently averaging 2.89 kills per set as a UT freshman.
The players on the first team of Under Armour’s All-American team will appear in an all-star game later this year. Texas last had a recruit appear in that showcase in 2016.
