Cal OL Bastian Swinney brings size, toughness, and proven versatility
Bastian Swinney is a **6-foot-6, 310-pound** redshirt senior who returned to Cal for 2026 after starting the final four games in 2025 and appearing in all 13 contests; he’s valued for his **run-blocking power**, **tenacity**, and the ability to play **center and both guard spots**. Cal’s roster notes show he helped protect a young quarterback and open lanes for a 943-yard rusher, while recruiting reports praised him as a reliable, tough lineman with good lateral movement and finishing ability. He looks like a strong fit for a team that wants a seasoned, physical interior blocker with positional flexibility.[4][6][7]
