Tennessee Titans rookie tackle Taylor Lewan, a former Michigan star, pleaded guilty Thursday to being drunk and disorderly in a confrontation with an Ohio State fan last year.

Lewan, 23, was accused of hitting the man outside a bar after the Buckeyes beat the Wolverines 42-41 in Ann Arbor last season.

He originally faced one count of aggravated assault and two charges of assault and battery; but, in the deal with prosecutors, he pleaded guilty to two misdemeanors and agreed to pay $1,714 in restitution.

He is scheduled for sentencing on Dec. 15 and is expected to get probation.
