NFL prospect and former Texas defensive lineman T'Vondre Sweat 'set to visit the Titans and Seahawks ahead of 2024 draft' one day after posting $3,000 bond following DWI arrest

NFL Draft prospect T'Vondre Sweat is set to visit the Tennessee Titans and Seattle Seahawks after posting bond following his arrest on Sunday. 

The 22-year-old was arrested in Austin, Texas Sunday for driving while intoxicated and was booked into Travis County Jail at around 2:12pm. 

Sweat, the 2023 Big 12 defensive player of the year and Outland Trophy winner, posted $3,000 bond, allowing his pre-draft process to continue. 

Ahead of the draft later this month, Sweat flew into Tennessee on Monday to visit with the Titans and will travel up to Seattle later this week, according to Tom Pelissero. Sweat will use the visits as a chance to explain his situation to the franchises. 

According to the Austin Police Department, Sweat was involved in a car crash at around 4:41am on Sunday before being booked hours later, according to TMZ.

The police said that Sweat had been driving an SUV which collided with a sedan in the early hours of Sunday. 

'The driver of the SUV, T'Vondre Sweat, was arrested for DWI,' police said in a statement Monday afternoon. 'The driver of the sedan left the scene on foot immediately after the crash.' 

The former Texas defensive lineman, who has been projected to be one of the top defensive picks in this month's draft, faces a Class B misdemeanor, which in Texas carries a fine up to $2,000 and 180 days in jail, according to ESPN. 

He was spotted leaving jail later on Sunday afternoon alongside his attorney, according to KXAN News, NBC's local affiliate. 

Sweat kept his face covered with a towel and neither he nor his attorney answered a question about the future of his NFL career. 

It is currently unclear when Sweat will be due back in court. 

The 6-foot-4, 362-pound defenseman declared for the draft after helping the Longhorns reach their first College Football Playoff appearance.

Last season, he registered two sacks, eight tackles for loss, seven quarterback hurries, four pass breakups and 45 total tackles, earning him the Outland Trophy as the nation's top interior lineman.

ESPN rates Sweat as the No. 3 defensive tackle prospect for the draft, which will take place in Detroit, Michigan from April 25-27.

Sweat, who is the younger brother of Philadelphia Eagles pass rusher Josh Sweat, is unlikely to face any discipline from the league as the arrest took place before he joined the NFL. 

However, the incident could come as a blow to his draft stock with NFL teams possibly put off by his arrest.
