Arkansas has received a commitment from Hutchinson Community College defensive end Jeremiah Ledbetter.
Ledbetter, 6-4, 265 pounds, 4.72 seconds in the 40-yard dash, made an official visit to Fayetteville on June 25-27. He picked the Hogs over scholarship offers from Florida, Georgia, Miami and others.
Coach Rion Rhoades of Hutchinson Community College in Kansas believes Ledbetter is among the best he’s ever coached.
“He’s definitely one of the best players I’ve had,” Rhoades said. “I’ve had some really high level defensive linemen and a couple of them still playing in the SEC. I think the thing that makes him so special is he can play big because he’s very strong and explosive. He can also play that speed role too at end.”
Last year, Ledbetter recorded 69 tackles, 11 tackles for loss, 5 sacks, 11 quarterback hurries, 2 pass break-ups, 3 deflected passes and a 7-yard interception return for a score.
