He played college football for the Ouachita Baptist Tigers and signed with the Houston Texans as an undrafted free agent in 2012.

Early life

[edit]

Supernaw was born on January 30, 1990, at Vanderbilt Hospital in Nashville to country music singer Doug Supernaw and his wife Trudy.[2] The family moved to the Houston area when Phillip was young because his father believed he could find better success as a singer in Texas. Phillip played high school football at James E. Taylor High School in Katy, Texas.[3][4]

Supernaw was a four-year starter for Ouachita Baptist University in southwestern Arkansas.[5][6][7] He recorded 64 catches for 710 yards and 10 touchdowns during his college career and earned first-team all-Gulf South Conference (2009), second-team all-Gulf South Conference (2010), and second-team All-Great American Conference (2011) honors.[citation needed]
