Hodges reports that Philon sustained a knee injury in November, two months after he had committed to Alabama. The injury, it was reported, would require surgery to assess the extent of the damage. As of signing day, Philon had not had the surgery, and so nothing was known about how long he would be out of commission or what his prognosis was going forward.
The interesting quote from the article comes from a source close to the Mobile sports scene: “It’s not a big secret that the knee is worse than just a minor deal. He also hasn’t had any success with any rehab.”
