LSU’s explosive edge who turned production into pass-rush proof
In the 2024 season, Swinson emerged as a true difference-maker for LSU, posting 58 tackles, 13 tackles for loss, 8.5 sacks and 2 forced fumbles while setting career highs in several impact categories.[1][2][4] What makes him valuable is not just the stat line: he plays with a disruptive motor, can win both on the edge and in the backfield, and showed he can handle a larger every-down role after earlier years as more of a situational rusher.[9][15] His fit is strongest for teams wanting an active, high-effort DE who creates negative plays and pressure, not just empty edge-setting reps.[2][15]
