Add another player to the growing list that are ticketed toward the 2018 NFL Draft.
Stanford defensive tackle Harrison Phillips announced on Thursday that he would be leaving the Farm to turn pro despite having a year of eligibility left.

Harrison is likely a first or second day pick in this year’s draft and has the kind of versatility teams are looking for in the trenches as a former state champion wrestler back in high school. He was an All-Pac-12 first team selection and a Lott IMPACT Trophy finalist in 2017, capping off his final season with the Cardinal by recording 92 tackles (14.5 TFL) and 7.5 sacks.
While Harrison was a senior academically, he had the option of returning to Stanford with a medical redshirt year in 2015. He joins teammate Dalton Schultz in heading to the draft early.
