Texas star DL T'Vondre Sweat sweetens offensive TD with Heisman pose celebration

Big man touchdowns are always a hit, but Texas Longhorns Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year T'Vondre Sweat made his even better with an epic celebration against Oklahoma State on Saturday.

With the Longhorns already up 14-7 late in the first quarter, the 362-pound, 6-foot-4 defensive lineman entered the game as a tight end. Sarkisian also included Byron Murphy II in the play, Big 12's Defensive Lineman of the Year. After quarterback Quinn Ewers faked the handoff, Sweat was wide open to catch a 2-yard touchdown pass deep in the end zone.

It was Sweat's first collegiate touchdown and he didn't squander the moment, hitting the Heisman Trophy pose as teammates surrounded him to celebrate.

It's a fun watch:

Sweat is a 22-year-old fifth-year senior who completed the regular season with 40 tackles, eight tackles for a loss and two sacks. He broke up four attempted passes at the line of scrimmage and added seven quarterback pressures to his loaded stats.

It would seem that a player like Sweat is in good position to make some requests of his coach. On Monday, he reportedly told media he was hoping Sarkisian would design a play that would allow him to score a touchdown.

Clearly, he got his wish. While Sweat's celebration led some to call for him to earn the Heisman award in jest, LSU’s Jayden Daniels became the overwhelming favorite to win the trophy after Oregon’s loss in the Pac-12 title game.

Texas won the game 49-21 to clinch the Big 12 title.
