LSU was gashed on the ground on Saturday against South Carolina, but the defense came up with enough big plays to secure a 36-33 comeback win.
Edge rusher Bradyn Swinson played a major role in that. He was extremely impactful in this game, totaling a career-high three sacks while totaling five tackles and forcing a fumble in the fourth quarter, which proved to be impactful. One of his sacks came on South Carolina’s final drive and helped push back the ultimately missed game-tying field goal attempt.
For his effort, Swinson was named the SEC Defensive Player of the Week on Monday.

A transfer addition from Oregon last season, Swinson appeared in 12 games with one start but was mostly a rotational player. Still, he made his presence known, leading the team with nine quarterback hurries.
He’s seen a much bigger role so far this season, starting all three games off the edge, and he’s already totaled 11 tackles and exceeded his sack total of two from 2023.
