The Titans announced Tuesday that they've officially signed Sweat to his rookie contract, making him the final player in Tennessee's 2024 draft class to sign."Mom, we made it," Sweat said. "That's what I'm here to say. ... Just a blessing. God giving us another day to do what we love."Sweat was arrested on DWI charges April 7 after being involved in a car accident.
Sweat was a primary reason the Texas defense allowed the fourth-fewest rushing yards per game in the country during the regular season. The Longhorns also allowed the 13th-fewest points per game . Sweat won the the Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year and was named the Outland Award winner, given annually to the best lineman in college football. He posted 42 total tackles, two sacks and five passes defended during the regular season. Sweat also caught a two-yard touchdown in Texas' 49-21 win over the Oklahoma State Cowboys in the Big 12 Championship.
