| Incredibly fun to watch, mostly due to his high motor and relentless will to find the ball. Schwesinger plays with solid balance and change of direction in coverage. Takes good angles to the ball and plays with fluid hips and footwork. | Listed at just 225-pounds, more build can be added to his thin frame. Susceptible to being reached at the second level, will get locked up by bigger defenders. Eyes get caught in the backfield while dropping back in coverage. |
OVERVIEW: Schwesinger began his career as a preferred walk-on and finished as the FBS leader in solo tackles (90) during his senior season. The next-closest on the solo tackles leaderboard trailed by 14 at the end of the year, as Schwesinger finished with 136 total takedowns and nine double-digit tackle games, the most by a Bruin since linebacker Eric Kendricks in 2014. Schwesinger also led the Big Ten in total tackles and tackles per game (11.3), and even had a two-interception effort against Iowa.
