The Lowdown

Schwartz is arguably the top remaining unsigned sprint talent. He has maintained throughout his recruiting that he would be choosing a school based not only on its football pedigree but its ability to develop his speed on the track. Auburn's sprint coach, Henry Rolle, is a former sprinter for the Bahamas who is heading into his 20th year with the Tigers. Last year the Tigers saw junior Odean Skeen and senior Teray Smith score an eighth- and seventh-place performance, respectively, at the NCAA outdoor track and field championships. Schwartz could be looking to qualify for the NCAAs in 2019 as well.
