College career
As a sophomore at Texas A&M in 2010, Swope and Jeff Fuller both broke Rod Bernstine's 24-year-old school single-season receptions record with 72.{{cite web | url=https://12thman.com/news/2011/7/7/205225685.aspx | title=A&M's Fuller, Swope Named to Biletnikoff Award Watch List }} As a junior the following season, Swope broke his own record for receptions and set the record for single-season receiving yards with 89 catches for 1,207 yards. He also had 11 receiving touchdowns that year, which at the time was the second highest single-season total on school history. As a senior in 2012, he set the school record for career receptions with 252.[http://www.mysanantonio.com/sports/college_sports/college_basketball/article/Swope-becomes-Aggies-top-receiver-4027106.php Swope becomes Aggies' top receiver] Although his single-season yardage record has since been broken by Mike Evans, his season and career reception records both still stand.
