From laughing on the bus to winning the Outland, T'Vondre Sweat has grown on, off field for Texas Longhorns
Texas Longhorns Outland Trophy winner T'Vondre Sweat added more than 100 pounds in college, but says maturity is where he's grown most since Huntsville days
NEW ORLEANS – Huntsville head coach Rodney Southern thought former star pupil T’Vondre Sweat was too big when the two met up two off-seasons ago in Sweat’s hometown in East Texas. After all, Sweat was an edge player for the Hornets in high school who began his prep career as a tight end on the junior varsity team. He once recorded 4.5 sacks in a game against A&M Consolidated.
Sweat left Huntsville at roughly 240 or 245, according to Southern. Sweat now tips the scales at over 350 pounds.
