NFL Draft: Miami Dolphins select former OU defensive tackle Jordan Phillips in second round

The Miami Dolphins selected former Oklahoma defensive tackle Jordan Phillips with the 52nd pick in the second round Friday night.

The 6-foot-5, 327-pound nose tackle started all 13 games last season for the Sooners, recording 32 tackles, seven tackles for loss, two sacks, one fumble recovery and a pass breakup.

The Towanda, Kan., native signed with the Sooners out of Circle High School in the recruiting class of 2011. He redshirted as a true freshman, then played only sparingly as a redshirt freshman in 2012.

The next year, though, after the Sooners transitioned to a 3-4 base defensive system, Phillips shined through the first four games of the season.
