Williams calls him a golden star

Quarterback Caleb Williams praised Swift as a "golden star" on the team who can do everything.

“He's a special player. I'm glad we have him for the next three, four years.”

Complete skill set on display

Williams highlighted Swift's versatility: he can catch, block, run downhill, run wide zone, and get to the edge.

“He can do everything. He can catch. He can block. Obviously, he can run downhill.”

Not just first downs

Swift isn't just getting first downs, he's trying to take them all the way, according to Williams.

“From there, he's not only getting first downs, he's trying to take them to the crib.”
