Three-Star RB Schedules Official Visit To Florida State

On Saturday, Florida State extended a scholarship to three-star running back Tai Phillips. Despite holding numerous options from other programs, Phillips is reciprocating the interest.

According to his social media, Phillips has locked in an official visit to Tallahassee from June 5-7.

Phillips has already officially visited North Carolina State and he's got upcoming trips set to Virginia Tech and Alabama. He holds nearly 20 offers.

During his junior season at Cape Fear high School, Phillips rushed 116 times for 919 yards and 12 touchdowns,

Phillips recorded 100+ rushing yards in four games, including a season-high 36 carries for 302 yards and six touchdowns in a 50-35 victory against Terry Sanford High School on October 24.

The 5-foot-11, 180-pound running back is regarded as the No. 842 overall prospect, the No. 63 RB, and the No. 17 recruit in South Carolina in the 2027 class according to the 247Sports Composite Ratings.

Florida State is working on expanding the running back board following an unproductive spring. Four-star Ty Keys committed to Miami last month and four-star Brayden Tyson appears to be trending towards South Carolina. Tyson is set to announce in the near future.

Outside of Phillips, Florida State is monitoring targets such as four-star Gary Walker, four-star Jayden Barnes, three-star Asa Barnes, three-star Kelsey Gerald, and three-star Marquis Fennell.
