Plans to enter portal Swann is expected to enter the transfer portal, On3.com reports.

Impact Swann spent the 2024 season with LSU, but his contributions weren't noticeable, as he completed just two of his four passes in two games. Expect him to garner decent interest from other schools ahead of his senior year. Prior to this one-year period with the Tigers, Swann spent the first two years of his career with Vanderbilt.

Will enter transfer portal Swann will enter the NCAA transfer portal following the 2023-24 season, Hayes Fawcett of On3.com reports.

Impact Swann is set to leave Vanderbilt after spending his first two collegiate seasons with the Commodores. The sophomore quarterback appeared in 15 games during his time with the program, throwing for 2,692 yards (221-for-394), 22 touchdowns and nine interceptions. Swann is sure to draw the attention of numerous programs given his success within a power-five conference.

Decent performance in finale Swann completed 14 of 23 passes for 167 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 48-24 loss to Tennessee.

Impact Swann received the starting nod and saw the field for the first time since September. While the sophomore could not lead the Commodores to victory, he performed fairly well and showed little rust, including tossing his 12th touchdown of the season.

Starting quarterback for Week 13 Swann is the starting quarterback for Vanderbilt's game Saturday at Tennessee, Robbie Weinstein of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact Swann will log his first start since September. An elbow injury forced him to sit out October and most of November. But from August to September, Swann mostly excelled by completing 53.2 percent of his 173 passes for 1,251 yards and 11 touchdowns across his five games.

NOVEMBER 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Available as reserve Swann will be a backup quarterback for Vanderbilt's game Saturday at South Carolina, Aria Gerson of The Tennessean reports.

Impact Without any problems affecting his this time around, Swann will be available for Vanderbilt's next game. But having lost his starting spot to Ken Seals with just two games left for the Commodores this year, it is currently unlikely for him to provide much value across their remaining season.

Continues getting healthier Head coach Clark Lea indicated Tuesday that Swann is getting healthier after not seeing the field in last week's game against Auburn, Aria Gerson of The Tennessean reports.

Impact Lea's comments suggest Swann has been recovering from an undisclosed injury but was listed as available during the previous matchup but did not take a snap. Quarterback Ken Seals has been taking first-team reps and is likely to remain the starter for the rest of the season.

DNP but reportedly available Swann (elbow) did not play during Vanderbilt's game Saturday against Auburn but was reportedly available, Aria Gerson of The Tennessean reports.

Impact Since Week 5, Swann has been able to dress in all but one of Vanderbilt's games. The matchup he sat out was at Mississippi on Oct. 28. Swann has been said to be available, but there seems no current desire in putting him into games. So at least for now, Ken Seals remains the Commodores' primary option at their quarterback position.

Warming with third-string offense Swann (elbow) is warming up but working with the starting offense ahead of Saturday's game versus Auburn, Nathan King of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact Even if Swann is available, it appears Ken Seals will get the start Saturday, while Swann will wait his turn and potentially sit out altogether again. Given that Seals hasn't blown the doors down in his starting role, Swann could have a chance to retake the starting gig when fully healthy.

NOVEMBER 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Week 10 Swann (elbow) is questionable for Vanderbilt's game Saturday against Auburn, Aria Gerson of The Tennessean reports.

Impact Swann sat out all of October recovering from his elbow injury. Ideally for him, November turns out to be a stark contrast in terms of his health, as the Commodores are expected to close out their season with three games in this coming month.

OCTOBER 31, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Not dressed Saturday Swann (elbow) is not dressed for Saturday's game at Ole Miss, Aria Gerson of The Tennessean reports.

Impact Swann, who has not played since Week 4, will miss his fourth consecutive game Saturday. The quarterback has been dealing with elbow soreness and it is not yet manageable enough for him to suit up. In his absence, Ken Seals will remain under center.

OCTOBER 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with elbow soreness Swann couldn't finish practice Tuesday due to elbow soreness and should be questionable to play Saturday at Mississippi, Aria Gerson of The Tennessean reports.

Impact Swann featured in each of Vanderbilt's first five games of the season but has not played since then, and the elbow soreness that's affecting him might very well sideline him from Saturday's contest as well. Ken Seals should remain under center until Swann is ready to return.
