The Georgia Bulldogs have been known for grooming prized elite running back talent in their storied program, and Sophomore D'Andre Swift may be the next to take the country by storm. There have been backs such as Herschel Walker, Rodney Hampton and Todd Gurley that have ran through the hedges and D'Andre Swift gave you a brief insight into his bright future last season of what's to come from the Philadelphia native. The former high school All-American is poised and confident to be a leader next season.
Swift a 215-lb blend between power and speed that can hurt a defense in more ways than one. He was a third option in a stable of running backs led by Chubb and Michel at UGA in 2017, but now he aims to be the guy that carries Georgia to the next level.
The Sophomore carried the ball only 81 times for 618 yards and 3 scores but some of those runs were at key points in big games for the Bulldogs. Swift blew by the Missouri defense for a 71-yard TD that came at a crucial point in the game and he also broke a 64-yard touchdown in the SEC championship that put the game out of reach for Georgia. He also is a threat out the backfield receiving as he caught 17 passes (3 catches 84 yards vs Florida) for 153 yards. His ability of being a dual threat is a plus for Georgia and with incoming talent, Swift has a lot of leverage to succeed.
Look for the this kid to be on the some Heisman watch lists this season as he will try to become the next running back to make an imprint between the hedges.
