Football: BYU interested in junior RB from Alabama
Late in the recruiting process for 2009 signees, BYU started to look closely at a few high school football players from the South, but didn't actually get any to prospects to take a visit to Provo.

Looks like the Cougars are starting a bit earlier in this go-round.

Drew Phillips, a 6-foot, 180-pound running back from Boaz, Alabama, is emerging as one of the Cougars' top targets from the class of 2010, it appears.

Phillips rushed for 2,196 yards and 18 touchdowns on 317 attempts his junior season and has shattered most of the rushing records at his high school with a year to play.

"I have been hearing from BYU the most," Phillips told scoutsouth.com. "They have called my coach eight times in the past two weeks. BYU wants me to call them so they can speak with me. They are recruiting me the hardest at the moment."

The prospect said BYU and Lousiana Tech are recruiting him the hardest, but he is also drawing interest from Alabama, Ole Miss, Mississippi and Kentucky, among others.
