2007: 13 GP; 8 GS; Rec: 17-193-11.4-2; 1 Sol-4 TT; Part of the team's trio of outstanding tight ends ... eight starts and played in all 13 games ... fifth on the team in receiving with 17 receptions for 193 yards and two touchdowns, figures that were more than his career totals coming into the season ... tied for ninth in the ACC in receptions and 10th in yards among league's tight ends ... did not catch a pass in the first three games but ended the regular-season with a nine-game streak with at least one catch ... 2006: 12 GP; 4 GS; Rec: 2-65-32.5-0; Appeared in every game, started four (Pittsburgh, Georgia Tech, Miami, Virginia Tech) ... used primarily as a blocker, but has good ball skills ... two catches for 65 yards on the year ... 2005: 12 GP; 3 GS; Rec: 2-27-13.5-1; Appeared in every game, including starts against North Carolina, Georgia Tech and Virginia Tech when the team started in a two-tight end set ...good blocker who also played on the kickoff return team and the kick scoring unit ... played only special teams in the first two games ... has an older brother Jake, who is the starting quarterback at William & Mary ... cousin Scott Perkins also played football for the Tribe (1985-88).
02/11/09 - PRO POTENTIAL: TE John Phillips -- The Cavaliers have produced NFL tight ends Heath Miller (Pittsburgh) and Tom Santi (Indianapolis) in the past five years. While not as strong a blocker as Miller, he's a solid downfield threat, who was second on the team with 48 receptions for 385 yards and two touchdowns last season. Phillips is a likely late-round selection, but his ability to contribute on special teams as well could be attractive.

12/02/08 - 2008 ALL-ACC CONFERENCE FIRST TEAM (MEDIA): TE John Phillips, Virginia (88), has been selected All-ACC Conference First Team for the 2008 college football season by the Atlantic Coast Sports Media Association. Phillips continued the tradition of outstanding tight ends at Virginia under head coach Al Groh. He led ACC tight ends with 48 receptions for 385 yards and finished tied for seventh overall in receiving. His 48 catches are ninth most by a tight end in conference history. This is the first time Phillips has been named All-ACC. - Virginia football
