Former UCLA linebacker Jaelan Phillips is considering transferring to rival Pac-12 programs, according to a report.
Phillips left UCLA in the fall quarter of school after dealing with injuries in his first two seasons with the program. He was considering a medical retirement but did not go that direction. Instead, he is set to transfer, and 247 Sports says he is considering USC and Stanford.
Bruin Report Online first reported news of Phillips’ plans to leave UCLA. They said at the time that Phillips was looking for a school that had a major for his area of interest – music production and technology. Phillips confirmed that in a tweet sent last month:
