veteran Ball State interior plugger with proven backfield disruption
In the 2017 season, John Swisher gave Ball State real grown-man value at defensive tackle, starting the first eight games and producing a personal-best eight tackles with a tackle for loss and quarterback hurry at Akron, plus seven tackles against Central Michigan. He’s the kind of interior defender teams love: sturdy at 6-foot-2, 285 pounds, experienced, physical, and capable of holding the point while flashing enough burst to bother quarterbacks. If you need a reliable, low-drama trench enforcer who can soak up blocks and occasionally wreck a play, Swisher fits the bill.
