Hogs Land Intra-School Transfer For Quarterback

The Bryant native closes a door to one sport while opening another.

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — When it comes to baseball at Arkansas it is rather rare to play two sports for long. Former Bryant star quarterback Austin Ledbetter has left the mound of Baum-Walker to toss passes around Razorback Stadium instead. He left a statement regarding his decision on social media.

“Razorback Nation, First and foremost, I want to give glory to God for all of the opportunities he has presented me with. These past two years playing baseball at Arkansas have been nothing short of amazing. I want to thank the coaches and staff for always supporting me and constantly pushing me to be my best. Thank you to my teammates who have been there for me through everything. After much prayer, thought and conversation with my family, I have decided to put my career in baseball behind me.

"After talking with Coach Pittman and Coach Petrino, have decided to pursue a football career at the University of Arkansas. I am super grateful for this opportunity and ready to get to work! Once a Hog, still a Hog!”

The former Hornet dazzled the state in the top classification, completing of 252 passes for 2,926 yards with 42 touchdowns and five interceptions. His performance earned him All-State, All-Preps Player of the Year, and Parade All-American honors.

The Razorbacks have brought Taylen Green in from Boise State to compete against last year’s backups in Jacolby Criswell and Malachi Singleton. The dynamic of having Ledbetter in the quarterback room is intriguing and will be be a storyline worth monitoring as spring ball nears in March.
