Schwesinger played in 38 career games in three seasons at UCLA
Staff Writer The Browns selected LB Carson Schwesinger with the 33rd overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. “You talk about a guy who was walk-on — and not only a walk-on, but really a one-year starter. Started three games into the season and just took off,” Assistant General Manager and Vice President of Player Personnel Glenn Cook said. “And extremely productive, extremely smart, very versatile, kind of fits exactly the identity we want on defense.” After redshirting as a walk-on in 2021, Schwesinger played three seasons for UCLA and appeared in 38 career games. He recorded 163 tackles, 12 tackles for loss, five sacks, two interceptions, three passes defensed and one forced fumble. Schwesinger joins a linebacker room that consists of Jerome Baker, Devin Bush, Mohamoud Diabate, Marcus Haynes, Jordan Hicks, Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah, Winston Reid and Nathaniel Watson. The Browns are also awaiting Owusu-Koramoah’s return from a neck injury he sustained during the 2024 season. “What you’re getting is a linebacker who can do whatever’s needed in the defense,” Schwesinger said of his skillset. “And I think that’s a place I fit in. Whether you need coverage, you need a stop in the run or getting after the quarterback. All three of those I think I could do at a high level and I’m ready to get to work and help contribute.” Take a look back at Carson Schwesinger’s football career from his days in college to becoming the Cleveland Browns’ 2025 second-round draft pick.
