My thoughts: Swanson is the type of student-athlete that you want in your school. Hard-working, humble and a no-excuses type of person. A team player who fights to the end, never has a bad thing to say about anyone and who is willing to go the extra mile to make everyone around them better. They don't come any better than that.
