Texas law mandates that a Class B misdemeanor, which is what he faces, is punishable by up to 180 days in jail, a fine of up to $2,000, or both.<br><a href="https://twitter.com/espnrittenberg/status/1777425591685337108?s=46&t=X_vPLOnd3V0fI2B3dH5EDA" target="_blank" rel="noopener">According to the Austin Police Department</a>, officers responded to a crash between an SUV, which Sweat was driving, and a sedan at 4:41 a.m. Sunday morning on Interstate-35. The driver of the sedan left on foot immediately after the crash. <br>This comes amid widespread expectations of Sweat becoming either a first- or second-round selection in the draft, which starts April 25. Named both an All-American and Outland Trophy winner in 2023 as the nation's top interior offensive or defensive lineman, Sweat is currently ranked as the <a href="https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/prospect-rankings/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">No. 82 overall prospect</a> in the 2024 class by CBS Sports, offering rare size (6-4, 365 pounds) after also earning Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year honors.<br>Sweat, who was released on a $3,000 bond, is visiting with the Tennessee Titans Monday and will meet with the Seattle Seahawks later this week, <a href="https://twitter.com/TomPelissero/status/1777385511599964396" target="_blank" rel="noopener">per NFL Media</a>. The Texas prospect is unlikely to face any potential <a href="https://cbssports.com/nfl/">NFL</a> discipline for his arrest since he has yet to join the league. It's possible, however, that his draft stock could be affected by the incident.<br>© 2004-2024 CBS Interactive. All Rights Reserved.<br>CBS Sports is a registered trademark of CBS Broadcasting Inc.
