- On3 insiders Pete Nakos and Kelly Quinlan are cited by Yahoo Sports as reporting Philo’s intention to enter the portal.
- Philo would bring three seasons of NCAA eligibility to his next program.
- He appeared in eight games over two seasons and, in a Sept. 6 start against Gardner‑Webb, threw for 373 yards; his two-year totals were 938 passing yards with two touchdowns and three interceptions.
- Philo holds Georgia’s high school career passing mark at 13,922 yards and led Prince Avenue Christian to consecutive state titles.
- Georgia Tech must identify a 2026 starting quarterback with Haynes King out of eligibility, a search shaped by the Jan. 2–16 portal window and the recent exit of offensive coordinator Buster Faulkner to Florida.
