Top NFL Draft Prospect T'Vondre Sweat Arrested In Texas

1:02 PM PT -- According to the Austin Police Department, T'Vondre Sweat was involved in a car crash at around 4:41 AM on Sunday -- hours before he was booked into the Travis County Jail.

Cops say Sweat was driving an SUV when he collided with a sedan.

"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 APD added an investigation into the matter is ongoing.

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.
