Jayden Shwed brings versatility and reliability to New Haven’s backfield
In the 2025 season, Jayden Shwed was a compact, do-it-all junior RB for New Haven, finishing with 25 carries for 52 rushing yards and a rushing TD, plus 7 catches for 24 yards; he also threw a 20-yard touchdown, which screams versatility more than volume. The biggest differentiator is his multi-tool value and toughness: he’s a willing pass-catcher, can be used creatively, and has the kind of team-first profile that earned him Academic All-Star recognition. He looks like a smart fit for a staff that wants a flexible, high-IQ back who can handle special situations and won’t blink under the lights.
