Hopefully Erik Swenson's recruitment is not remembered as the guy who got his offer pulled from Michigan. Swenson has the frame (he's at least 6-5) to be a stellar offensive lineman, but he will to put in the work to transform his body and gain strength.
Swenson was a late arrival to the Sooners class, but Bill Bedenbaugh immediately reached out to him after the Michigan situation, which resulted in Swenson's verbal commitment and now letter of intent. There is definite talent and potential with Swenson. He has the ability to be special.
