Swedlund is looking to take over the reins as the starter for Heritage. At the JV level, he has dominated and is aiming to bring that performance to the varsity level. Measures in at 6’4 205-pounds. Good athletic ability due to good speed, balance, acceleration, and change of direction. Swedlund displays very good throw power and a very quick release. Swedlund displays very good accuracy and ball placement skills. Throws it on the money, in stride, or above the receiver’s head depending on the situation. He has good pocket presence. Very good pocket mobility to shift and evade rushers. Stays poised under pressure. Good progression speed and if no one’s open, he’ll use his good scramble ability to punish the defense. This is a QB to watch as we move forward.

Swedlund is the heir apparent for Heritage high school. The 6’4 205-pound QB has some great intangibles. Good athletic ability due to good speed, acceleration, change of direction, and balance. Very good throw power paired with a very quick release. Smooth throwing motion. Swedlund goes through his progressions and finds the open man. If no one’s open, he’ll use his good scramble ability to get open. Very good ball placement skills. He throws it in stride with his receiver, so they don’t lose speed. Very good pocket mobility. He stays poised under pressure and shifts around easily. I’m very excited to see Swedlund in a starting varsity role.

Though Swedlund is expected to sit for another year, his long term potential is clear. He already has one of the strongest arms in the 2028 class, capable of making throws to all areas of the field with precision and velocity. Swedlund excels in off platform situations, showing the ability to throw on the run and extend plays when the pocket collapses. His football IQ is impressive, as he dissects coverages and delivers the ball where only his receiver can get it. Once given the reins, expect Swedlund to quickly grab attention from scouts and be a breakout candidate waiting to impress.
