I saw Swanson in a regional championship game last year and he is an advanced route runner with the strength to block when needed.
He looks bigger than when I last saw him and according to reports, he was being considered for the overall MVP spot at the showcase.
Swanson narrowed down his list of schools to five and I expect BYU to be a favorite to land him.

The Laguna Beach star tight end got two offers last week and had a major visit.
San Diego State and Purdue both offered Swanson and he took a visit to Oregon which was very successful according to 247Sports.
He is the top tight end in the class and it appears Oregon will be a finalist for him when he signs this December.

A lot to like about the 6’4” 230 lb. receiving TE out of Laguna Beach. Operating mainly out of the slot he’s a tough matchup for any high school level DB or LB with his combination of size, strength, and speed. He flashes great initial quickness and short area burst off the LOS and in his drive phase to close space and break cushion. Good fluidity and change of direction out of his breaks to create separation. Natural ball skills, he’s a hand catcher that can pluck the ball out of the air and extend to make catches outside his framework. Tough to tackle after the catch, he runs downhill and hard with great balance to absorb contact and break tackles. This season he’s racked up 54 receptions for 541 yards and six touchdowns. Holds 10 D1 offers to date with eight of them being power 5 programs but expect many more high profile offers coming his way soon.
