Phillips, a quarterback-defensive back, was instrumental in the Cougars' season finale victory over the rival Panthers as he sparked The Valley's offense with three touchdown passes. From his signal-calling position, Phillips attempted 15 passes and completed 10 for a 66.7 per cent completion mark. Those 10 aerials were good for 188 yards, nearly half of SLV's total offense.

He added 10 more yards on the ground, carrying on two occasions. Defensively, Phillips from his free safety position intercepted two passes (one interception was nullified) and made five tackles. On a seasonal basis, Phillips intercepted nine passes. Offensively, he completed his senior season with 1,040 total passing yards, completing 73 of 160 pass attempts.
