Phil Haynes is a 26-year-old American football offensive guard for the Seattle Seahawks of the National Football League. He played college football at Wake Forest. He is from the Africa-America ethnicity and holds an American nationality.
Phil was born on October 20, 1995. He grew up in Raleigh, North Carolina, and initially attended North Raleigh Christian Academy. Also spent time in LA.
Starting as a basketball player, a local insurance broker funded his scholarship to play basketball for the Knights. He transferred to Virginia Episcopal School in Lynchburg, Virginia after his junior year to re-classify and gain an extra season of eligibility.
Phil 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 to enter Wake Forest with his original class.
