This past season, T’Vondre Sweat was undoubtedly the best defensive player for the Texas Longhorns. He easily won the Outland Trophy, unanimous first-team All-America honors, and much more.
With his game now on autopilot, Sweat has started preparing for the NFL Draft, starting with the Reese’s Senior Bowl.
According to reports, Sweat is in control of the situation, hammering former Arkansas center Beaux Limmer in practice drills.
Applewhite will be promoted from his present roles as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach to take over as the Jaguars’ head coach in place of Kane Wommack, who left to take a defensive coordinator post at Alabama under Kalen DeBoer.
After being signed by the New England Patriots as an undrafted free agent after the 2002 NFL Draft, 45-year-old Texas-Ex Applewhite swiftly made the decision to forgo his playing career in favor of finishing his education and becoming a coach.

He worked under then-coach Mack Brown as a graduate assistant at Texas for two years in 2003 and 2004. He then attended Syracuse, Rice, and Alabama for a year before returning to Austin for the following five years. Prior to being elevated to co-offensive coordinator and quarterbacks, he served as the running backs coach.
Following that, Applewhite took a year off from coaching and spent three seasons at Houston before coming back to Alabama for two seasons as an analyst. In 2021, he would then accept a position as South Alabama’s offensive coordinator.
