BYU extended an offer to Swanson on Feb. 28. Prior to the offer he had visited last September and was back on campus June 13.

With Swanson’s pledge, BYU now has seven commitments in its 2024 recruiting class.

The Cougars’ other commitments are Oxnard (Calif.) Rio Mesa three-star safety Chance Harrison, Springville (Utah) three-star defensive lineman Dallin Johnson, Spanish Fork (Utah) three-star linebacker Adney Reid, Salt Lake City (Utah) Highland three-star EDGE Siosefa Brown, Queen Creek (Ariz.) American Leadership Academy three-star quarterback Enoch Watson and Chandler (Ariz.) Basha safety Thomas Prassas.

Swanson currently has an On3 NIL Valuation of $49K. The On3 NIL Valuation is the industry’s leading index that sets high school and college athletes’ projected annual value (PAV). The NIL valuation does not act as a tracker of the value of NIL deals an athlete has completed to date. It rather signifies an athlete’s value at a certain moment in time.
