The 6-foot-4, 270-pound athlete was projected to potentially start this year for Georgia. An elite recruit out of high school, Ledbetter possesses some serious skills in the way of getting after opposing quarterbacks.
However, the Tucker, Ga. native was arrested twice this past offseason — for a DUI charge, and also for possessing a fake ID/underage possession of alcohol.
His potential return will be highly welcomed for the Dawgs defense. To date, Georgia has accrued three sacks in three games. This ranks UGA near the bottom of the conference in this category.
