Jalen Swindell brings veteran size and steady interior punch to Norfolk State
In the 2025 season, Jalen Swindell played in eight games and made one start for Norfolk State, finishing with 14 total tackles, 1 tackle for loss, and a career-high 7 tackles against Hampton; the 2026 roster lists him as a 6-foot-2, 310-pound redshirt senior, which screams experienced space-eater with real SEC-style trench mass. The appeal here is less splash plays and more sturdy, grown-man defensive-line work: he’s a reliable run-game body who can hold gaps, show up in key moments, and give a defense some grown-up resistance inside.
