Gamecocks' Swearinger set for anything

D.J. Swearinger doesn’t know where he may end up in the secondary. But he does know that he’s ready to make an impact this fall. "The secondary was able to break up a lot of passes," said Swearinger, whose transition in the defensive backfield continues. "I’m handling that well. Last year I played boundary corner so that got me a lot of experience. I also played nickel last year," he said. "Coming in this spring I played free safety and now I’m moving over to boundary strong safety. I know pretty much what to do anywhere I line up on the field. I’m getting adjusted to it." Swearinger had 19 tackles in no starts last season, but he is pushing to get that number much higher this season. He’s ready to go regardless of where he plays. "It really doesn’t matter. I’m most comfortable at safety, but I can play pretty much wherever they put me," he said. The veteran defense is going to be counted on in a big way this season, and he sees the unit getting better over the course of the last few scrimmages.
