T’Vondre Sweat, a former defensive tackle for the Texas Longhorns and one of the 2024 NFL Draft’s top defensive tackles, was arrested Sunday for allegedly driving while intoxicated, the Travis County Sheriff’s Office said, according to NFL.com.
Brucky Brook from NFL.com has Sweat listed as his No. 5-ranked defensive tackle prospect after a successful last season as a Longhorn. In 2023, Sweat won the Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year award, also being named as a first-team All-American putting up a total of 45 tackles, eight tackles for loss, four FBUs, two sacks and one blocked kick.
The brother of Philadelphia Eagles defensive lineman Josh Sweat, T’Vondre was the victor of the Outland Trophy — a college football award given to the best interior lineman in the country.
