Former Texas defensive lineman T'Vondre Sweat, the 2023 Big 12 defensive player of the year and Outland Trophy winner, was booked into jail after an arrest for driving while intoxicated.

Sweat, 22, was booked Sunday afternoon into Travis County Jail, according to online records, after being arrested by Austin police. He faces a Class B misdemeanor, which in Texas carries a fine up to $2,000 and 180 days in jail.

The 6-foot-4, 362-pound Sweat declared for the NFL draft after helping Texas to its first College Football Playoff appearance. He had two sacks, eight tackles for loss, seven quarterback hurries, four pass breakups and 45 total tackles last season.
