2017 UConn Commit #6 - Ian Swenson (Wilmette, Illinois)

[Stainmaster]

Lets hope academics factored into his commitment. Otherwise, we can kiss him goodbye.

Any info you're not sharing with us?

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.

Do You wish to retract part of that statement ?

Pioneer Press All-Area Football First Team Defense and Special Teams

Ian Swenson - DB, Loyola, Sr.
Key stats: 55 tackles, 3 interceptions, 7 pass breakups
College: Connecticut
Town: Evanston
Pivotal point: Being moved up to varsity for his sophomore year was a key developmental point for Swenson. He found out during the summer before his sophomore season that he would be a key player for Loyola. "I didn't know what to expect and (was) kind of scared to come up," he said. "The senior defensive backs helped me a lot."
Opposing player I most respect: Ricky Smalling, Brother Rice wide receiver and Illinois recruit. "Ricky is something else," Swenson said. "He's very elusive when he gets the ball in space. His releases are unbelievable."
Fun fact: Swenson is superstitious and follows the same pattern before every game, such as wearing the same shorts. "I follow it the day before every game," he said.

Team lost in Class 8A State Championship Game after winning it last year.

I really hope he stays committed. He can get a lot of playing time next year if he's ready for it
