Now, the 32-year-old is about five months into his biggest job yet: picked by Riley to lead Husker football strength and conditioning. He arrives at work around 4:30 or 5 in the morning and doesn't leave until after dinnertime on an average day. Wide receiver Jordan Westerkamp has said it can be an early morning workout and Philipp still "comes in like it's 3 in the afternoon."
"I don’t consider it work," Philipp says. "I look forward to coming in every morning to train these guys. Nobody ever has to ask me to be the loud guy. For some reason, I just get hyped when I see them moving around, making good plays. When it’s a bad one, I pick them up and tell them it’s on to the next play. I don’t know: I think that’s just me.”
