Furthermore, Mack was reportedly also booked on a second charge for possession of a controlled substance between one and four grams. However, this charge was rejected by the prosecutor, saving the Longhorns' defensive back from a third-degree felony.

Mack was booked into the Travis County Jail at night. However, he was released on a $3,000 bail. His attorney declined to comment on the situation.

"Due to the pending nature of the case, we have no comment at this time," Mack's attorney said via On3.com.

Coming out of John Ehret High School, the defensive back joined Steve Sarkisian's team as a part of the recruiting class of 2024. During his debut collegiate campaign, Mack played in four games and put up two total tackles for the team.
