Former Trojans into NFL draft pool

Jovan Swann, a 2016 Center Grove alumnus who played at Indiana this season after coming over as a grad transfer from Stanford, announced Tuesday via Twitter that he will bypass the chance to return to the Hoosiers and instead make himself eligible for the NFL draft.

Swann joins another former Trojan, 2017 graduate Parker Ferguson, in the draft pool. Ferguson recently opted to turn pro instead of returning to Air Force for a fifth season.
