UCF’s Taevion Swint gives the Knights a boost in return game
UCF’s Taevion Swint has emerged as one of the Big 12’s better dual-threat options.
As a running back, he’s given the Knights a change of pace from fellow tailbacks Duke Watson and Landen Chambers. But as a return specialist, Swint has provided an instant spark for the offense, giving the team crucial field position.
That was evident several times during UCF’s thrilling 33-32 win over Kansas on Saturday.
Swint had four returns for 144 yards, including a 43-yarder to start the second half that eventually led to him scoring a one-yard touchdown run.
“That kick return was huge for us and he’s a weapon. He’s got big play capabilities,” said coach Scott Frost.
