"The crash was a two-vehicle crash involving 2023 orange Ford Bronco 4d TXLP.ING098Y, and 2020 Blue Dodge sports car TXIP:TVV8630. Occupants of the Bronco stated that the Blue Dodge collided into the back of the Bronco and caused it to lose control and go to the right and the vehicle landed on the service road. The vehicle ended up on its side. The admitted driver of the Bronco was identified as SWEAT. TVONDRE BLACK MALE 07/11/2001 T'vondre admitted to being a driver of the Bronco. Ivondre had the key of the bronco in his pocket."

This past season, Sweat posted 42 total tackles, two sacks, and five passes defended during the regular season. He also caught a two-yard touchdown in Texas' 49-21 win over theOklahoma State Cowboys in the Big 12 Championship.

In his five-year career at Texas, Sweat tallied 127 total tackles, five sacks, 15 passes defended and one forced fumble. He'll likely be one of the top defensive linemen selected in the 2024 NFL Draft.

Sweat has largely been considered a Day 2 pick in the upcoming Draft. Now, however, after the arrest, it is unclear how much of a hit Sweat's draft stock will take.
