"I came here to win," Dailyn Swain talks Xavier

Dailyn Swain’s versatility as a player makes him unique. Listed at 6-foot-8, he affects the game, across the board, on both sides of the floor.

This versatility is also what made him such a coveted recruit in the 2023 class. The four-star had close to 15 offers when he eventually chose to play for Sean Miller and the Xavier Musketeers in September.
