Phil Haynes (born October 19, 1995) is an American professional football offensive guard. He played college football at Wake Forest.
Early life
Haynes grew up in Raleigh, North Carolina and initially attended North Raleigh Christian Academy. He transferred to Virginia Episcopal School in Lynchburg, Virginia after his junior year in order to re-classify and gain an extra season of eligibility. He joined the football team at Virginia Episcopal and attracted the attention of college recruiters, ultimately committing to play college football at Wake Forest despite only playing one year of football. Since he had already reclassified as a junior, Haynes moved back to Raleigh and took extra courses at William G. Enloe High School in order to enter Wake Forest with his original class.{{Cite web |last=O'Neill |first=Conor |date=November 16, 2018 |title=The molding of Phil Haynes: How a basketball player who played one season of high school football became a leader of Wake Forest's 'Beef Boys' |url=https://www.journalnow.com/sports/college/wfu/the-molding-of-phil-haynes-how-a-basketball-player-who/article_498f69e1-1bf4-5e36-8a9e-348d7622c1cd.html |access-date=May 5, 2019 |website=Winston-Salem Journal}}
