Philips had seven catches for 113 yards, including scores of 42 and 15 yards, in a loss to Fresno State.[9] The two touchdown catches tied his career high with the other occurring in 2019 against the Stanford Cardinal. At the game against Colorado on November 13, 2021, Philips caught a team-high eight passes and returned a punt 82 yards for a touchdown, his second career punt return for a score.[10][11] For the season, he was named first-team All-Pac-12 as a receiver and garnered second-team honors as a return specialist. Philips led the conference with 10 receiving touchdowns and was second in receiving yards per game with 67.2.[12] He also averaged 22.6 yards per punt return, which led the conference among players with more than one return.[13]
