Tyjuan Swain details strenuous journey from JUCO football to CMU

Foster has coached every level from high school to Division O football. Over his desk in the athletics office at College of DuPage, he has a picture of just one player.

From 2014-2016, it was a place Tyjuan Swain called home.

With academic standards holding him back from playing Division I football straight out of high school, Swain was given a second chance by attending a Junior College (JUCO).

He packed his bags and traveled to College of DuPage in Glen Ellyn.

Swain picked up an offer from Central Michigan on March 19, 2016, as a sophomore at DuPage, and he signed to join the Chippewas four days later.
