ST. PAUL – University of Northwestern's Nick Swore (Grand Rapids, Mich./Northpointe Christian) made history Friday, as the junior was tabbed a Second Team All-American by D3football.com. The distinguished list of honorees was announced prior to kick-off at the Division III Stagg Bowl in Salem, Va. Swore was selected to the special teams portion of the second team.

Swore was a dominant factor on both defense and special teams, as he ranked in the top 10 nationally with his seven interceptions – a tally that is the second-most in a season in program history. In addition, he blocked three kicks on special teams and scooped up a pair of fumble recoveries. The First Team All-UMAC selection posted 56 tackles and eight pass breakups. He was named to the D3football.com Team of the Week on Sept. 12 after he came up with a pair of huge interceptions, logged 11 tackles and forced a fumble in UNW's 19-13 win over conference champion Eureka.
