Hunter Swoboda is starting to make a name for himself, and he doesn’t even know it’s happening. Swoboda leads the Arena Football League in rushing midway through the season, yet you wouldn’t know if you talked to him. He is humble, hungry, and most importantly, credits all success to others.

With the Arena Football League, the tight end position doesn’t have a consistent role, so Hunter had to harness all his previous experiences to shape his new purpose for the team. Given his natural abilities, it made more sense to play all over the place, including fullback, tight end, wide receiver, plug, and defensive end.

“There are so many similarities to FB in indoor and outdoor, blocking assignments, and blitz pickups. I’ve really enjoyed being able to get the ball in my hands and showcase some of my abilities. Coach Bonner has been awesome; he calls a great game, some of the designs are really incredible and put us all in position to win our matchups.”

Billings runs much more frequently than a traditional indoor team. The Outlaws and Coach Bonner aren’t just doing this to cut against the grain.

“I think it’s all about the people we have, our (offensive) line, coaches, fullback room, and how the season has progressed. Bonner really understands how to attack defenses. All that has collectively allowed me to carry the football the way that I have, credit to all of them for doing their job because, really, they are the ones who should be getting the most acknowledgment.”
