Ledbetter surprised by output

FAYETTEVILLE -- Junior college transfer Jeremiah Ledbetter's debut at Arkansas went even better than he expected.

The 6-3, 280-pound junior led the Razorbacks with eight tackles.

"I didn't even know I had that many tackles," Ledbetter said. "It really did surprise me when they told me I led the team in tackles. I didn't expect that at all."

Ledbetter's production in the 48-13 victory over Texas-El Paso has given him work with the first-team defense this week. Defensive line coach Rory Segrest said he expects Ledbetter will start against Toledo on Saturday and split time again with sophomore Tevin Beanum.
