Alphonso Tyrone Swoopes Jr. (born November 14, 1994) is an American former professional football tight end. He played quarterback for the Texas Longhorns and signed with the Seattle Seahawks as an undrafted free agent in 2017. He was also a member of the Philadelphia Eagles and Washington Football Team.

Early life

Swoopes was a highly recruited high school football player from a small town (Whitewright, TX). He played in the 2013 U.S. Army All-American Bowl, and consistently was rated among the top 10 quarterback recruits in the country. In addition to football, he played guard in basketball, in baseball, and competed in the long jump, triple jump, 4 × 400 m, 4 × 200 m, 4 × 100 m and shot put in track and field.{{Cite web |title=Tyrone Swoopes |url=http://texassports.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=5191 |access-date=September 7, 2014 |website=texassports.com |publisher=UT Athletics}} A 4-star recruit, he committed to play college football at the University of Texas over offers from Alabama, Auburn, Baylor, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Oklahoma, Stanford, TCU, Texas A&M, Texas Tech, and UCLA.{{Cite web |last=Weathersby |first=Edwin |date=February 19, 2012 |title=5-Star QB Tyrone Swoopes Commits to Texas: How Big Is This for the Longhorns? |url=http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1072143-5-star-qb-tyrone-swoopes-commits-to-texas-how-big-is-this-for-the-longhorns |access-date=August 22, 2017 |website=Bleacher Report}}{{Cite web |title=Tyrone Swoopes Recruit Interests |url=https://247sports.com/Recruitment/Tyrone-Swoopes-13061/RecruitInterests/ |access-date=November 12, 2022 |website=247Sports}}

College career

=2013 season=

In his lone season with head coach Mack Brown, Swoopes saw limited play in the 2013 season, coming in mostly for relief in six games.{{Cite web |title=Tyrone Swoopes 2013 Game Log |url=https://www.sports-reference.com/cfb/players/tyrone-swoopes-1/gamelog/2013 |access-date=August 22, 2017 |website=Sports Reference}}

On November 2, Swoopes completed his first career collegiate pass against Kansas.{{Cite web |title=Kansas at Texas Box Score, November 2, 2013 |url=https://www.sports-reference.com/cfb/boxscores/2013-11-02-texas.html |access-date=August 22, 2017 |website=Sports Reference}} On November 28, he had his first career rushing touchdown, which came in the fourth quarter against Texas Tech.{{Cite web |title=Texas Tech at Texas Box Score, November 28, 2013 |url=https://www.sports-reference.com/cfb/boxscores/2013-11-28-texas.html |access-date=August 22, 2017 |website=Sports Reference}} On December 30, Swoopes saw time in the 2013 Alamo Bowl against Oregon.

Swoopes entered the 2014 season with a new head coach, Charlie Strong.{{Cite web |date=January 5, 2014 |title=Charlie Strong Named Texas Head Football Coach |url=https://news.utexas.edu/2014/01/05/charlie-strong-named-texas-head-football-coach |access-date=August 22, 2017 |website=University of Texas Athletics}}

In the first game of the 2014 season, Swoopes entered the game only for the last series, but after a career-ending injury to David Ash, Swoopes was thrown into the unexpected role of starter for the second game against BYU. He remained the starter for the rest of the season.{{Cite web |last=Olson |first=Max |date=September 1, 2014 |title=David Ash won't play vs. BYU |url=https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/11447864/david-ash-texas-longhorns-concussion-symptoms-play-vs-byu |access-date=September 1, 2014 |website=ESPN.com}}

The next week, against Oklahoma State, Swoopes had the best game of his career, with 305 yards, two touchdowns, and a career-high quarterback rating of 170.4. In the last game of the regular season, Texas was beaten badly by #5 TCU in a game in which Swoopes threw a career-high four interceptions.{{Cite web |title=Texas Christian at Texas Box Score, November 27, 2014 |url=https://www.sports-reference.com/cfb/boxscores/2014-11-27-texas.html |access-date=August 22, 2017 |website=Sports Reference}}

Swoopes and the Longhorns went to the Texas Bowl where they met an old Southwest Conference rival Arkansas, but the offense, which struggled all season due to injury and disciplinary losses to the offensive line, was able to muster only 59 yards of offense. It was Swoopes's worst game. He produced only 25 yards of total offense (57 yards of passing and −32 yards of rushing) and registered a career low quarterback rating of 63.2.{{Cite web |title=Texas Bowl – Arkansas vs Texas Box Score, December 29, 2014 |url=https://www.sports-reference.com/cfb/boxscores/2014-12-29-texas.html |access-date=August 22, 2017 |website=Sports Reference}} His performance during the last two games of the season and his 5–7 record as a starter left analysts questioning his role in 2015. Before the bowl game, Max Olson of ESPN wrote of him "he will have to fight for his job next year."
