Hakiem Swann brings proven ball-hawking instincts and playmaking pedigree to Norfolk State’s secondary
Swann is a **playmaker-first DB** whose standout trait is ball production: as a senior in high school, he earned first-team all-district honors after **7 interceptions** and **7 touchdowns**, showing rare two-way explosiveness and a nose for game-changing moments.[3] He also brings experience and early-career credibility, having started as a true freshman at N.C. Central before joining Norfolk State’s program.[1] For a team looking for an instinctive defensive back who can create turnovers and add competitive intensity, Swann fits the profile of a **high-upside, disruptive secondary piece**.[1][3]
