Indiana tight end Paul Phillips has left campus to be with his family after his father was killed and one of his brothers survived the Alaskan plane crash that killed ex-U.S. Sen. Ted Stevens.
Bill Phillips Sr. was one of five people killed in Monday night's crash. Paul Phillips' brother Willy was one of four survivors.
Hoosiers coach Bill Lynch says in a statement the university's thoughts and prayers are with the freshman's family.
Bill Phillips Sr. played football at Evansville from 1972-76, and Paul Phillips' mother, Janet, was a college swimmer who now competes in equestrian events. Older brothers Andrew and Colter also play college football, at Stanford and Virginia.
