Has Ohio State cooled on Swigert? I saw Bollman at one of his baseball games and assumed they were pretty interested???

Ohio State was never "hot" on Swigert ... or even all that "warm". They saw him at camp, and passed. Could things change down the road? Perhaps, but not likely.

Leopards' Swigert shows stuff as QB
Sold-out home crowd sees senior connect for five touchdowns

LOUISVILLE: He was known as one of the top wide receivers in the area coming into the season.

After Thursday night, however, Louisville senior Bobby Swigert showed that he has the potential to be one of the top quarterbacks in the area.
Playing in front of a sold-out crowd of more than 8,000 fans at Louisville Stadium, Swigert completed 17-of-24 passes for 240 yards and five touchdowns, each to a different receiver and four in the first half of a 34-13 win over North Canton Hoover.

Swigert connected for touchdowns to Jared Strasser (14 yards), Lee Ferguson (16 yards) Cody Stocker (28 yards) and Jeremy White (26 yards) in the first half.

Louisville, Canton South players catch eyes of recruiters
By Jonas Fortune

The Northeastern Buckeye Conference has always been a rugged football conference.
The players are Friday night heroes with a select few able to move onto the Saturday college stage; and rarely is that the high-profile type of athlete.
Yet, with a few great touchdown catches and remarkable athleticism, Louisville senior quarterback Bobby Swigert and Canton South senior receiver Jerald Robinson are bringing plenty of attention, and recruiters, to the conference and to their game Friday night at Canton South.
The players have combined to collect more than 40 offers from Division I schools.
''We have never had offers like that,'' Louisville coach Paul Farrah said of Swigert's 25 scholarship opportunities ? a surprising statement, considering Louisville is the winningest team in Stark County since 2000.
The Leopards (3-0) debuted this week as the No.1 team in the Associated Press Division II state poll.
Swigert, a 6-foot-1, 180-pound quarterback, has actually garnered most of his attention as a receiver, which he played the past two seasons. He starts at defensive back and is on most of the special teams units, too.
Swigert is special with the ball in his hands. He can cut quickly and make defenders miss. His 4.4 speed in the 40-yard dash allows him to get away from those defenders, too.
''He has one of the best pair of hands we have ever had,'' Farrah said. ''You can't guard him one on one. He went to the Ohio State camp and the Notre Dame camp, and those guys couldn't even cover him. He is a competitor.''
So why was he moved to quarterback for his senior year?
''The decision was: Do we have him touch the ball eight times a game or do we have him touch the ball 55 times a game?'' Farrah said.
Swigert, who is also being recruited as a baseball player, can throw the ball ? a perfect combination for Louisville's spread offense. Swigert already has six touchdown passes and 508 yards passing this season.
''Our offense fits me perfectly as a quarterback because, obviously, you have to make a lot of throws, but also I am pretty mobile,'' Swigert said. ''That is kind of my game. I run all over the place, and that is what our quarterback has to do. Our quarterback is basically a running back who can throw.''

Down to four

Will Swigert play receiver or defensive back? Three games into his tenure as quarterback, Farrah believes he could get some looks there, too.

''Our point is hopefully by the end of his senior year, hopefully people will recruit him as a quarterback,'' Farrah said. ''He is that good as a quarterback, not just as a wide out. That is one thing Michigan is looking at him as a quarterback and a wide out.''

Swigert noted that Michigan has had some interest in him playing safety.

Swigert has yet to commit, but his list has shrunk to four schools: Nebraska, Stanford, Boston College and Michigan.

''I picked those four because those are the schools that I have visited and liked most,'' he said. ''They have a great balance of academics, as well as a high level of football. That is the main thing I am looking for.''

Louisville QB Swigert out at least five weeks | FridayNightOhio.com

A tough break for an all round great young man.

The top-ranked Louisville Leopards will be without QB Bob Swigert for at least the rest of the regular season. Swigert will undergo surgery Thursday to repair a torn ligament in his right foot.

Swigert was injured Sept. 11 on a punt return during a 12-3 win over Akron Hoban. Louisville head coach Paul Farrah said the hope is that Swigert can return by the playoffs for the Leopards, Ohio's No. 1 ranked team in Division II.

SWIGERT?S DECISION

Louisville quarterback Bob Swigert couldn?t have made a bad decision when he was choosing a college. His final three, before he verbally committed to Boston College, were the Eagles, Stanford and Michigan.

And get this: He could have fallen back on Harvard. It was tempting, but in the end, Swigert wanted to compete on the playing field and off it at a high level. He will play wide receiver at B.C. and also will play baseball.

?It was definitely tempting,? Swigert said of the Harvard offer. ?I?d be walking out of there with a high starting salary. My two things throughout this process were No. 1, great academics and No. 2, I wanted to go somewhere with a high level of football.?

Swigert maintains a 3.9 grade-point average.

The Eagles run a wide open offense with four and five receivers. Swigert is expected to be used in a slot position, and he could play as early as next fall.

Slot in true freshman Bobby Swigert for snaps
By Steve Conroy / BC Notebook
Wednesday, September 1, 2010

As wide receivers fell all around him during training camp, true freshman Bobby Swigert was able to make it through standing upright.

?Yeah, I?m very proud of that fact,? Swigert said with a smile.

That simple fact, along with some obvious talent, has put the Louisville, Ohio, native in the mix for Boston College when the Eagles open the 2010 season on Saturday at Alumni Stadium against Weber State. Swigert is listed as the backup behind starter Clyde Lee.

The 6-foot-1, 180-pound Swigert said his first collegiate camp featured plenty to digest.

?It was one of the hardest things I?ve ever gone through - but it was good overall,? Swigert said. ?I learned so much from all the coaches. It?s just a whole new level, college football.?
