In 1971, Swann had 27 catches for 305 yards and two touchdowns.
He led USC in catches and finished second to WR Edesel Garrison in receiving yards.
Swann attended the University of Southern California in Los Angeles, where he was an consensus All-American on the Trojan football team under head coach John McKay, including the undefeated and national champion 1972 team.
McKay said of Swann, "He has speed, soft hands, and grace."
As a junior in 1972, Swann rushed for 117 yards and had 27 catches for 543 yards and three touchdowns.
This time, he led USC in receiving yards and finished second to tight end Charle Young in catches.
In 1973, Swann rushed for 99 yards while catching 42 passes for 714 yards and six touchdowns.

As a rookie in 1974, he led the NFL with 577 punt-return yards, a franchise record and the fourth-most in NFL history at the time.
