LSU Gets FB Commitment


If you guys been following my post (which I hope you have), you'll know that this recruiting season has been a busy one especially the last couple of weeks. So on the heels of getting verbals from some of the nations top defensive ends, wide-outs, and offensive tackles; we add a tree stump to the backfield in Kennard Swanson from Lakeland, Fla.


The 6 ft 245 pound Swanson started 3 years on the defensive line in addition to getting a couple snaps at fullback, offensive guard, and some special teams duty. He received offers from Miami and Central Florida to play fullback as well as USC, Pitt, USF, WVU and Purdue for defensive line. During his Junior season, Swanson had 46 tackles and 11 sacks. 

Since we typical see athletes convert to fullback out of high school ( I am notorious for this in NCAA football), it isn't a shock that he played all over in high school. Shows that he isn't all about self and willing to help the team in any shape, for, or fashion. He'll learn a lot from our current RB staff.
