For four years, Whop Philyor was Indiana’s man over the middle.
The 5-foot-11 slot receiver climbed several of the program’s career leaderboards, finishing his college run ranked fourth at IU in receptions (180) and 100-yard games (seven), and ninth in yardage (2,067). Meanwhile, no Hoosier in school history accumulated more double-digit catch games than Philyor’s seven. He was, more often than not, a major part of what IU wanted to do offensively.
Although Philyor, like the rest of his senior classmates across the country, had an opportunity to return to IU for an NCAA-gifted fifth season, the Tampa native decided he had left his mark on the rejuvenated football program in Bloomington.
