Swain is a vertical stressor with effortless long speed. The silky-smooth receiver creates instant separation with long, steady strides. His knack for tempo manipulation is beyond his years, and he knows how to use the threat of his speed to his advantage. He excels in stop-and-gos and double moves, highlighting his cutting skill and ability to eat up a defensive back’s cushion.

Despite his lankier frame, he has a bit of shiftiness after the catch. He stacks moves and weaves through space efficiently. Swain has the size, speed, and skill to turn his final season into a breakout year.

Alex Swain is a dynamic WR prospect who’s made a ton of plays for Ashford over the last few years.

“Swain has impressive speed and acceleration that he uses to stretch the field and provide huge deep play opportunities. Swain consistently flies off the line of scrimmage and generates ridiculous separation, especially on vertical concepts- he has a knack for quickly getting to the endzone.

I’m really impressed with Swain’s versatility. He’s not just a deep threat- he’s shown the ability to impact multiple levels of the field and also be used as a rushing threat off of jet sweeps/end arounds. I think Swain is being slept on a little. He showed a ton of great things through last season.”

Swain has a huge year ahead this upcoming fall. I think he and Ashford have a really exciting year ahead; we’re all going to have to keep watch.
