Swantavius Jones had a slightly unusual route to the ISFL. Despite his father being a former college football star, he did not play in high school, instead planning to follow in his mother's footsteps into the business world. It was only after some pressure from his father than Jones elected to give in and enrol in his college's football program. On doing so, he was immediately thrust into the role of starting quarterback due to the publicity that being the son of a former college standout.
Due to his extremely large stature, in both height and girth, Jones was able to perform extremely well in his first few seasons. His technical imperfections were masked by the fact that he didn't really require an offensive line and was rarely troubled physically given the quality of opponents in the minor league conference. As DSFL scouts began to express interest, they made it clear that quarterbacking was not in Jones's future, and that if he wished to pursue a professional career, it would have to be at a more appropriate position for a man of his build.
As such, the Cypress Creek coaches reluctantly agreed to move Jones to offensive line, a position which he of course thrived. There were concerns from both sides however that the quality of opponents that Jones was exposed to would leave him unprepared for life in the DSFL, but that became moot as the London Royals switched him to cornerback, paying famed body sculptor Dr Nick Riviera to adjust Jones's body accordingly.
