4-star TE Ryner Swanson announces top five schools
Laguna Beach (Calif.) four-star tight end Ryner Swanson has narrowed his list of top schools down to five. His list includes BYU, Oregon, Texas, Texas A&M and Utah.
Swanson is the No. 333 overall prospect and No. 21 tight end in the 2024 cycle, according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He is also the No. 27 player in California.
Oregon holds a slim lead over Texas to land the pledge of the 6-foot-4, 230-pounder according to the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine (RPM). Oregon sits with a 35.8% chance while Texas sits at 31.3%.
Swanson’s two scheduled official visits so far are to Oregon in Texas. He’ll see the Longhorns again on June 1 before heading back to Eugene on June 9.
He visited both of those schools in the spring as well along with trip a trip to Utah on March 30. Last year he took trip to BYU and Washington.
“We got there Friday night and went to Torchy’s and ate their tacos. We hadn’t even seen the football facilities yet and Texas was already top 5,” Swanson told Inside Texas following his last trip to Austin.
As great as that visit to Austin was, Oregon’s stood out to Swanson on each of the trip’s he’s taken to Eugene.
“I love them so much,” Swanson told ScoopDuck in January. “Coach Lanning told me to facetime my best friend who is obsessed with Oregon and his face was priceless when he saw Dan’s face on the screen. I love how kind the coaches were and how it felt being in that stadium.”
Swanson currently has an On3 NIL Valuation of $49K. The On3 NIL Valuation is the industry’s leading index that sets high school and college athletes’ projected annual value (PAV). The NIL valuation does not act as a tracker of the value of NIL deals an athlete has completed to date. It rather signifies an athlete’s value at a certain moment in time.
