There is a lof of speculation and rumors that the "unforeseen circumstances" that Swenson mentions is actually that Harbaugh pulled their scholarship offer due to Swenson's poor play this season. Notice that Swenson only says he is "re-opening his recruitment" rather than that he is decommitting.
Swenson also has scholarship offers from Ohio State, Notre Dame, Northwestern, and Illinois.
The 6'7", 285-pounder is ranked as the No. 31 offensive tackle and No. 322 overall recruit in the country by 247sports.
