Kentucky defensive back Andru Phillips became the third Wildcat to enter his name into the 2024 NFL Draft on Thursday.
In his social media post announcing his departure Phillips wrote, “I can’t put into words how grateful I have been to play under Coach Stoops at the University of Kentucky.”
Phillips joined Kentucky in 2020 as a three-star recruit, and the No. 8 overall player in South Carolina per 247Sports and Rivals.com, out of Mauldin High School.
Phillips redshirted his freshman season in 2020 after enrolling mid-year before playing in nine games in 2021.
He heated up in his sophomore season in 2022, starting in four games and logging reps in all 13 games, where he notched 31 tackles.
