Swift poised to become Georgia’s next 2,000-yard career rusher

D’Andre Swift could become the 16th Georgia player with 2,000 or more career rushing yards when the Bulldogs host Notre Dame Saturday at Sanford Stadium.

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.
