2023 Countdown to IUFB Kickoff: 6 Days (Phillip Dunnam)

Written by: Sammy Jacobs (@Hoosier_Huddle)

The 2023 edition of the Hoosier Huddle Countdown is officially underway! We are counting down from 100 to the beginning of the 2023 Indiana University football season. Each day, we will look at one (or two) players on the current Indiana football roster and highlight the player’s role in the upcoming season. Today’s profile features safety Phillip Dunnam.

Name: Phillip Dunnam

Hometown: Miami, Florida (North Miami Beach)

Position: Defensive Back

Year: Sophomore

Height/Weight: 6’1”/190 pounds

Dunnam took his lumps as a freshman in 2022 but has responded the way the coaching staff was hoping. After playing in all 12 games last season, making five tackles with one pass defensed, Dunnam has taken the next steps in his development.

Dunnam has felt he has improved “Everywhere really. I know the defense more. I know everybody’s job. I know where to be and when to be there. Just ready to make plays.”

He has played his way into the two-deep and will be a major part of the rotation at safety.

The Hoosier Huddle Countdown to Kickoff rolls on with Day 5 tomorrow!
