Dwight Phillips Jr., 4-star RB out of Georgia, reveals SEC commitment

Dwight Phillips Jr. has some serious speed as a 4-star prospect in the 2024 recruiting class. On Saturday, he announced his commitment on where he will begin his college career.

A 5-foot-11 and 170-pound recruit out of Pebblebrook High School in Mableton, Georgia, Phillips announced an in-state commitment to Kirby Smart’s Bulldog program. Phillips becomes the 9th commitment to Georgia’s 2024 recruiting class, a group that currently ranks No. 1 nationally by the 247 Sports team rankings.

According to the 247 Sports Composite Rankings, Phillips projects as a running back at the next level. He checks in as the No. 4 RB nationally and the No. 13 player out of Georgia for the cycle. Phillips is also a top 75 player and is ranked the 71st overall prospect in the country.

Already, Georgia’s 2024 recruiting class is off to a flying start. Of the 9 current commitments for the Bulldogs, 7 of those players rate as top-100 prospects with 4 of the players ranked inside the top 40 in the country.

Phillips brings elite speed to the program and is a threat every time he touches the ball. His father, Dwight Phillips, was a 2004 Olympic gold medalist in the long jump.

Here’s a look at what the newest commitment for the Bulldogs can do via his Hudl highlights:

    • Back to back Georgia buffoon …

      Isn’t it interesting that Negan’s Georgia’s QB just got arrested and put in the slammer…

      What an outstanding knucklehead…

      Great example for young kids…

      Negan… the buffoon.

      lol!

  • Read he has a 4.28 laser-timed 40 already. Ran a 10.4 100m as a sophomore.

    Kirby loves him some speed.

    • Probably. We’ve had some fast RBs, but Herschel was the only one with true world-class speed (best 100m was 10.10 in ‘82). Definitely the fastest since Keith Marshall’s 4.31 40 at the combine a few years ago.

  • Floriduh got a nice new wrap around LED screen for photo shoots, all we got was another top 100 commit...bummer
