One of the more prominent defensive tackles in this year’s NFL Draft has just been arrested.
University of Texas defensive tackle T’Vondre Sweat was arrested in Austin on Sunday according to local NBC affiliate KXAN.
According to the article, “Records show Sweat, 22, was arrested by the Austin Police Department and booked into Travis County Jail at 2:12 p.m. Sunday.
