6'1 298 32 3/8" arms with some serious athleticism for his size. Also just turned 21 last month. 20.5 tackles and 7.5 sacks in 18 starts though his redshirt freshman year and sophomore year.

draftbreakdown doesn't have any videos highlighting him specifically yet, but he does play mainly next to Trey Flowers who they have plenty of video on. Philon is #91 with the white gloves and wrist tape in this video vs Texas.

Haven't seen him talked about much here and I think he's a pretty good fit in Marinelli's scheme. A little raw and probably should have went back to school for his redshirt JR year, but he's got some very intriguing skills and high upside. Draftscout currently has him at 283rd overall while Scouts Inc has him at 106th and the 10th best DT so obviously his early entry threw a lot of people off. I think he'll get a little more attention after the combine though. 4th round seems like a good spot for us to take him in my opinion. Think he would make a good investment there

Yes, he looks like a Marinelli type DT.
