Why Alabama offer ‘means the world’ to North Carolina rising junior running back

Tai Phillips feels his Alabama offer carries a lot of weight.

Phillips is a product of Cape Fear High School in Fayetteville, North Carolina, and he is a 2027 prospect. He now holds offers from Alabama, Ohio State, North Carolina State and others.

Phillips’ Alabama offer marks a significant moment in his recruitment.

“It definitely means the world to me,” Phillips said. “When you think of college football, Alabama is always the main topic. I’ve always envisioned myself running in crimson and white ever since I was a kid and now that I can make that a reality, it is surreal to me.
