T’Vondre Sweat — one of the top defensive lineman prospects in this year’s NFL draft class — was arrested in Texas on Sunday, TMZ Sports has confirmed.
Records show the 22-year-old former Texas Longhorns star was booked into Travis County Jail at around 2:12 PM. According to reports, Sweat was accused of driving while intoxicated.

The records show he was released at around 4:14 PM. Further details surrounding the allegations against the football player were not made immediately available.
Sweat — wearing a face mask and a towel over his head — was asked two questions as he left the jail on Sunday afternoon … although he declined to answer them. His attorney said in his stead, “We’re not talking about the incident.”
Sweat — the 2023 Outland Trophy winner who measured in at 6’4″, 366 pounds at the NFL’s combine earlier this year — was projected to be a second or third-round pick in the draft later this month prior to his arrest.
