Had it not been for Bryan Harsin, there’s no telling where Longhorns tight end commitment Geoff Swaim (Oroville, Calif./Butte Community College) might be playing college football next season.
Harsin discovered Swaim when he asked Butte College offensive coordinator Rob Snelling, a teammate at Boise State, whether he had any solid blocking tight ends worth keeping an eye on. Snelling pointed at Swaim, who signed with Texas on June 12.
Swaim was looking forward to getting down to Austin to play in Harsin’s offense. The two last spoke about that Sunday, when Harsin and coach Mack Brown stopped by Swaim’s house for an in-home visit. Two days later, Harsin accepted the top job at Arkansas State.
