After making the hardest decision of his life by flipping from Ohio State to Utah, Clark Phillips III is happy to be a Ute but still grateful to Ryan Day and the Buckeyes.
to ever sign with Utah, making it easy to question why he would choose to sign with the Utes over the Buckeyes. But Phillips believed Utah was the best fit for him and a program that would set him up to thrive.
Phillips’ coaches and teammates credit his work ethic with enabling him to make such a big impact in his first two seasons in Salt Lake City. “This was one of those things I would have never expected, but also excited for and you work for every single day, and I'm just so grateful because who would have thought it would have been in my freshman year,” said Phillips, who Utah still lists as a freshman even though he played in five games in 2020. “I know it's my second freshman year, but who would have thought it would have been freshman year.
“Love Ryan Day. Love what he stands for,” Phillips said. “We talked very often, and he was a big part of my recruitment, so of course out of respect that was a conversation I had to have first, and he understood, as great coaches do, and he knew that I had to do what's best for me, and that was coming here.”
Phillips’ job for this week was made a bit easier on Monday, when Ohio State wide receivers Chris Olave and Garrett Wilson announced they were opting out of the Rose Bowl, but Phillips still expects to be in for a challenge against the Buckeyes. Heisman finalist C.J. Stroud and leading receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba will still be playing for Ohio State, and he knows the receivers who will replace Wilson and Olave in the lineup – most likely a combination of Julian Fleming, Marvin Harrison Jr.
