Young Idaho State LB with a tackling base and upside
Swearhart enters Idaho State as a **freshman linebacker** with a solid high-school résumé: in 2022 at Rocky Mountain, he posted **55 solo tackles**, **38 assisted tackles**, **6 tackles for loss**, **7 pass break-ups**, and **2 fumble recoveries** across 11 games.[1][7] Idaho State listed him on its 2024 roster and noted he **did not see action** as a freshman, so his college impact is still more projection than proven production.[7] The appeal is his early-ball production and coverage flashes; the question is whether that activity translates quickly against FCS speed and physicality.[1][7]
