ATH Vicari Swain, South Carolina (No. 51) – Swain is one of the twitchiest defenders in the 2023 cycle. The Carrollton, Georgia native posted an eye-popping 11’6″ broad jump (in socks!) back at the Atlanta Under Armour Camp in February. Swain continued to show that explosiveness as a senior, making big plays as a defensive back and receiver. The athleticism and ball skills register on the high end among potential defensive backs it the cycle.

Industry Comparison
“You could argue LaNorris Sellers had the best senior season of any quarterback in this cycle… I think he finished with 67 touchdowns and two picks, led his team to its first state championship ever. He’s 6-foot-3, 220 pounds with a big arm, can stretch the field vertically, has tangible velocity across the middle of the field… He has outstanding balance at that size… He’s tough to tackle, a really dangerous runner between the tackles and on scrambles. I think he ran for 1,300 yards and over 20 touchdowns this year. He really has some impressive playmaking ability when things break down. He’s very creative and he can do a lot of different things… He has a lot of positive indicators as a prospect and was also the MVP of the Shrine Bowl, the all-star game between South Carolina and North Carolina, in December.” — On3 Director of Scouting and Rankings Charles Power
