Swift ends his illustrious Georgia career with 2,885 rushing yards and 25 total touchdowns while averaging 6.6 yards per carry. He was named to the All-SEC first team following his junior campaign.

The dynamic rusher averaged 6.2 yards per carry this year en route to his second career 1,000-yard season.
