FORT WORTH, Texas -- TCU senior linebacker Jason Phillips has been ranked by ESPN The Magazine as College Football's No. 10 Workout Warrior.
A preseason All-American and three-time All-Mountain West Conference selection, Phillips has a squat of 710 pounds, a power clean of 410 pounds and a bench press of 450 pounds.
Also helping Phillips crack the top 10 were his efforts in a recent photo shoot for a team poster.
The shot was to capture football in its essence. The photographer said the only thing missing from the intensity of Phillips' face was a little blood. Phillips said, "No problem." He grabbed a small knife from the training room and nicked a scab on top of his nose to provide the blood needed for the shot.
Phillips was named the State's Best Linebacker in 2007 by Dave Campbell's Texas Football.
A native of Waller, Texas, Phillips has started all 38 games the last three seasons. His 231 career tackles, including a team-best 87 last year, lead all active Frogs.
