Sweetland went into details on his visit impressions from the University of Cincinnati.
"It was my first visit to Cincinnati and I really liked it. I was able to get to talk with some of the Cincinnati coaches before the game. They took us outside and we watched the team in warmups, then we went back to the stands and watched the game. It was a good game and a nice win for Cincinnati over Miami of Ohio. I spoke with a few of the coaches and they told me that they liked my early season video and to keep up the good work. I also really liked the campus at Cincinnati. It's an urban school and campus right in the middle of the city and everything was just really nice and very modern."

"Besides Cincinnati I've also been in contact with the coaches from Ohio University, Eastern Michigan, Central Michigan along with Western Illinois. I'm hoping to get out to visit a few more schools this fall but for now I don't have anything else set up just yet."
So how has Sweetland's game improved thus year from a season ago?
"My overall speed is definitely better this year. I also was able to add some good size and weight and I'm up about 15 pounds from a year ago and I can feel the difference."
