Scottie Phillips: RB · Ole Miss · #22.
Closest statistical matches, adjusted for opponent strength.
Scottie Phillips
Does a little of everything without one standout trait. Two seasons in the Ole Miss backfield to date. One game to point at: 143 rushing yards and 2 rushing TD against Arkansas — Week 2, 2019.
Play style
Plays within the scheme — consistent production without a dominant dimension.
Boom vs consistent · carry-yardage shape
Steady, not spectacular
Just 25.6% of his season rushing yards came on his 5 best carries — remarkably even — and he's stuffed on 21.6% of his carries. 1 carry for 4 yds vs Auburn; 26 for 143 vs Arkansas.
Counted from the play-by-play, so a carry or two can differ from the box score.
