Southern Miss linebacker Swayze Bozeman signed as an undrafted free agent with the Kansas City Chiefs.
“I am incredibly thankful for the five years spent at Southern Miss,” Bozeman told Pine Belt Sports. “They gave me my shot and allowed me to pursue my dream. Coach (Will) Hall didn’t have to bring me back, but he did, and I am beyond grateful for that. I’ll always treasure and cherish my time at USM, as well as the people I’ve gotten to know along the way. To The Top always!”
This past year, the Flora, Mississippi native recorded 55 tackles for the Golden Eagles. In four seasons at Southern Miss, the linebacker put 168 tackles and 12.5 tackles for loss.
Bozeman made a significant impression on the NFL Scouts after putting up impressive results during Southern Miss’ Pro Day.
Bozeman most notably recorded a 40-yard dash time of 4.49 seconds and put up 28 bench press reps.
Also signing UDFA deals were running back Frank Gore Jr. signing with the Buffalo Bills, and offensive tackle Briason Mays, who will be joining the San Franciso 49ers. Wide receiver Latreal Jones signed a UDFA with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Linebacker Josh Carr Jr. received a rookie minicamp invite from the New England Patriots, while wide receiver Jakarius Caston also received a minicamp invite from the Indianapolis Colts.
