Bryant quarterback Austin Ledbetter committed to Arkansas baseball as a freshman, but the Hornets' last two state titles on the gridiron also have him eager to play college football.

“Just my love for the game grew over the past two years winning the two state championships,” Ledbetter said. “It just got my motor going and made me love the game even more.”

Ledbetter a 6-1, 190-pound junior completed 202 of 326 passes for 3,400 yards, 43 touchdowns and rushed for two more this season for the 13-0 Class 7A State Champions.
