The New Haven Register Blogs: Ramblings from The Runway: Illinois DB Swenson commits to UConn

>>Swenson was a starting cornerback for a Loyola Academy team which posted six shutouts including three in five playoff games as Loyola capped a 14-0 season by winning the IHSA 8A state title. He was one of three juniors to start on defense for Loyola. He was also a member of Loyola's state championship lacrosse team as a junior.<<

Welcome to the family Ian.

My quick take aways....A bit of a long strider, but diagnosis plays quickly, stays in lanes, good containment, patient, not afraid of contact. Could be very good at run support from the corner position. Like all of these kids, the senior year tape will be interesting.

 

[Dooley]

Awesome. The IL to UConn pipeline grows...

Chicago Tribune: Loyola defensive back Ian Swenson verbally commits to UConn

>>The Loyola senior-to-be defensive back hails from a family of college athletes. His older sister, Evan, participated in three NCAA Championships as a member of the USC women's swimming and diving team and she plans to play water polo for the Trojans next season. Ian Swenson's older brother, Christian, just completed his freshman season running cross country and track for Tufts, a Division III school in Massachusetts. Their father and mother also were collegiate athletes, but Evan Swenson is the all-star of the family.<<

>>"I visited UConn for the first time in June, and it meets every one of my expectations for a school — academics, players-wise, just loved the players there, coaches, stability, and is a good-sized school," said Swenson, who is slated to play cornerback for the Huskies. "UConn had everything I wanted. It was a pretty easy decision for me."<<

One bonus with bringing in tall, athletic CB's is that (like with Byron Jones) they can spend some time early in their careers at safety if there are quality upper at corner at that time.

 

[BlueDogs]

Best decision of your young life! Great school, great coach and great fans. When the Rent gets going its one of the loudest and most intimidating fields in CFB. True.
