A quarterback, Swoopes ran for 2,267 yards and passed for only 1,394. Considered one of the top combo quarterbacks in the country, Swoopes ran for more than 200 yards five times, including a high of 540 yards and seven touchdowns against Tom Bean.
Why he will lead the nation in rushing: Swoopes holds the ball on every play and he plays in a 2A district in Texas.
Why he won't lead the nation in rushing: If Whitewright coach Jack Wylie decides to showcase Swoopes' passing skills, that will eat into his rushing totals.
