Mississippi State Lands Transfer QB AJ Swann From Appalachian State

The ex‑Vanderbilt, LSU quarterback brings SEC experience with one year of eligibility to Jeff Lebby’s retooled offense.

Overview

  • Swann committed on Jan. 5 after a 2025 season at Appalachian State, confirming his move via his social media announcement and multiple reports.
  • He owns 18 career starts across stints at Vanderbilt, LSU, and Appalachian State, giving Mississippi State a veteran presence in the room.
  • Reports differ on his career totals, citing roughly 4,236–4,326 passing yards and 32 touchdowns, with one outlet listing 17 interceptions.
  • Swann is projected to serve as the No. 2 option behind Kamario Taylor, who started Mississippi State’s final two games of 2025.
  • His arrival comes as MSU adds offensive assistant Bush Hamdan and early portal pickups Marquis Johnson and Jayson Jenkins during the Jan. 2–16 transfer window.
