Another Oscar Smith alum, Sweat had a solid run with the Tigers as well. As a junior, the defensive end had 94 tackles, 31 tackles for loss and 22 sacks before only playing in two games as a senior due to injury.

With the Seminoles, Sweat registered 138 tackles, 29 tackles for loss and 14.5 sacks in 37 career games. Following his time at FSU, Sweat was selected with the No. 130 overall pick in the fourth round of the 2018 NFL Draft by the Philadelphia Eagles. Sweat has recorded 153 tackles, 38 tackles for loss and 28.5 sacks over 71 games and 32 starts. He was selected to the Pro Bowl in 2021 and will return to the Eagles this fall.
