WATCH: Tennessee DE Kyle Phillips accepts Piesman Trophy
Big guys want to score touchdowns, too.
To properly recognize college football’s big guy touchdowns, SB Nation created the Piesman Trophy. This year’s winner is none other than Tennessee DE Kyle Phillips, who snagged an interception off Alabama QB Jalen Hurts and returned it 27 yards for a touchdown. Phillips hilariously thanks Hurts in his acceptance speech, in which he’s appropriately enjoying a slice of pie.
In addition to the touchdown, Phillips recorded 55 total tackles including seven for loss and four sacks. He also logged four press breakups, five quarterback hurries and a block on special teams.
