Landon Swanson is a versatile, high-motor depth piece with upside on CMU’s defensive front
Swanson’s value is less about eye-popping production and more about versatility, effort, and reliability: Central Michigan lists him as a defensive lineman after he previously played linebacker, and he logged 13 games in two seasons with 6 tackles, 1 sack, 1 TFL, and special teams work while earning Academic All-MAC honors in 2025. He profiles as a physical, team-first rotational defender who can help on special teams and adapt to multiple roles, making him a sensible fit for programs that want toughness, discipline, and developmental upside over immediate star power.
