Swinson played in all 12 games of the 2021 season for the Tigers. He caught 5 passes for 46 yards. For his career, Swinson has been credited with 7 catches for 84 yards. Because of the NCAA-instituted eligibility freeze, he’ll still have 2 years of eligibility remaining with the Sun Devils.
A former 3-star recruit, Swinson is a Glen Head, New York native. The 6-foot-8 pass-catcher was the 10th-ranked prospect in his state coming out of high school, the 42nd-ranked tight end recruit, and the 867th player overall in his class, per the 247Sports Composite.
