Gators not surprised by Freddie Swain’s quick start

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Freddie Swain has 209 all-purpose yards and three touchdowns the last week.

That’s pretty good but it’s incredible when you consider Swain had just 253 all-purpose yards and three touchdowns in his first 24 games (two seasons) in Orange and Blue.

Swain was a four-star prospect from Citra, Florida just 28 miles south of Gainesville. He had offers from Alabama, Arkansas, Clemson, Georgia and LSU to name a few but decided to stay close to home. For much of his first two years on campus Swain was ether buried on the depth chart or used improperly, so when the Gators brought in a new coaching staff it was a fresh start and a chance to really shine.
