Former UCLA linebacker Jaelan Phillips is considering a transfer to USC or Stanford, a source with direct knowledge of the situation told 247Sports.

The No. 1 overall prospect in the 2017 class per the 247Sports Composite, Phillips announced in December he would withdraw from UCLA due to “multiple injuries" (a move that was first reported by Bruin Report). Phillips, however, has had a change of heart and is considering resuming his football career with either the Trojans or Cardinal, the source said.

When healthy, Phillips made a major impact for the Bruins during his underclassman seasons.

Phillips produced seven tackles for loss and 3.5 sacks in seven games as true freshman, following that up with a sack and 20 tackles in just four games this past season. The 6-foot-5, 245-pound linebacker saw his most recent campaign end due complications from offseason wrist surgery and a concussion he suffered during the season.

Playing in just four games, Phillips can utilize 2018 as a redshirt year. He’ll be a rising redshirt sophomore wherever he chooses to transfer.

A former high school All-American and All-American Bowl selection, Phillips ranks as the 40th-highest ranked recruit in 247Sports history.
