ER to Phd

Hi everyone, 

I'm a BB equity research offer hold from a top business school. But I think my dream job is to be a professor. I wonder is it possible to transfer from sellside research to phd programs. Any cases you heard of? I currently don't have any research experience as a junior in college, should I apply to phd programs directly? Or sellside ---> buyside --> phd? Thanks for any info you have!
