The junior from Philadelphia has 1,959 yards in 32 games at Georgia, including 292 yards in three games this season, and needs 41 yards to join a list headed by school and conference leader Herschel Walker. Swift had 1,049 yards in 2018 and 618 yards as a freshman in 2017 - the same year Nick Chubb and Sony Michel each rushed for more than 1,200 yards.
