Biography

2025: Churned out one of the best individual seasons by a running back in program history, going for 1,458 all-purpose yards which ranked second in the Pioneer Football League and 16th nationally...Voted All-PFL Second Team as the Blue Hose won 10 games for the third time ever, reaching as high as #16 in the AFCA Coaches Poll and beginning the year 7-0...Was responsible for 78 total points thanks to 13 touchdowns, a number that topped the PFL and ranked inside the nationwide top 30...Rushed for 814 yards, added an extra 309 in the passing attack, and 335 more in kick return duties...Piled up six yards per carry, the second-highest number in the division and #17 in America...Collected 383 all-purpose yards over a two-game period, the second of which was a 41-0 blowout over Morehead State where he exploded for a 79-yard gain and three touchdowns overall...Eleven of his thirteen touchdowns occurred in the first six games of the season, a sequence which featured eight combined scores against Morehead, Bluefield, and Butler...Hit triple-digit all-purpose yardage against seven different opponents, including 180 total yards on Senior Day versus Marist (11/22)...That performance helped the Blue Hose finish 6-0 at Bailey Memorial Stadium, their first undefeated home record of this century...Had a season-best 109 kick return yards in that win over the Red Foxes...Concludes his college career as the all-time Presbyterian record-holder in average yards per kick return (24)...Ranks third among all PC players in the two-decade D-I era for all-purpose yards (3,062), rushing touchdowns (12), and kick return yards (1,040)...His 114 career points rank fifth in school history, while his 1,458 all-purpose yards as a senior are the most from any individual since the D-I jump.

2024: Switzer's second season in Clinton was a major ascension, collecting All-PFL First Team status as a return specialist while calculating 1,250 all-purpose yards...That's the most by a Presbyterian player since 2017 and the 4th-most in a sole season since the school joined the Division I ranks nearly two decades ago...Over the course of 25 kick returns, he'd average 27 yards per attempt (a number that topped the conference and ranked 11th in the nation at the FCS level)...His 673 kick return yards are the second-most in a singular year from any PC player, becoming the fifth Blue Hose in the D-I era to take a kick return for a touchdown as he sprinted 90 yards to the end zone at Erskine (9/7)...Outside of his special teams expertise, he rushed 65 times for 326 yards and three TD's...He'd also collect 21 receptions for 251 yards and a couple more scores...Produced three touchdowns and 143 all-purpose yards in the conference opener at Davidson (9/29)...Broke free for an 81-yard carry against eventual PFL champion Drake (10/19), the third-longest run in school history...Led the team in total points scored (36), one of five players who surpassed 30.

2023: Was a prominent fixture in PC's rushing attack after transferring from Memphis, reaching 223 yards (third on the team) on 56 carries while adding another 99 yards through the passing game...Boosted his all-purpose totals by landing a 32-yard kick return in the season finale against Morehead State, a matchup that the Blue Hose won by a 31-27 difference...His all-purpose yardage added up to 354 (inside the squad's top five), competing in every game and finding a season-best 85 all-purpose yards versus Marist (Oct. 21).
