Ivan Phillips, Emory & Henry, So., Linebacker

Phillips, a sophomore from Kingsport, Tenn., was all over the field in the Wasps come-from-behind last-second victory over Washington and Lee on Saturday. Phillips tied for team high honors with 11 tackles including six solo stops. His biggest contribution came not in getting involved in the turnover game, but putting points on the board. As the third quarter clock expired, Phillips put six on the board when he forced and recovered of fumble and returned it 19 yards for a touchdown. The score completed a 21-0 run by the Wasps to recover a 28-7 deficit and tie the score 28-all with the fourth quarter left to be played. For the season, Phillips leads Emory & Henry with 38 tackles including 22 solo stops. He has 4.5 tackles for a loss. The forced and recovered fumble is his first of the season in both categories.
