Not wise to waste scholarships with a class like 2015 that is so critical and will define our future

Not putting a respectable defense on the field again this year will do more damage to the future than 1 "wasted" scholarship.

No clue about this dude, but in general.

He's impressive. He gets upfield, runs right through double-teams. He's not a read-and-react type player, at least not in the juco system in the video. Very mobile.
 
Oklahoma State would have wiped the floor with us for most of a decade. Kid can probably play a little.
 
2014 DT Jeremy Ledbetter was at Olympia High School in Orlando, Fla., before moving his senior season to Gainesville High School in Georgia where his career really took off with local media referring to him as a "one man wrecking crew" during the Gainesville playoff run his senior season. He landed at Hutchinson C.C. and red-shirted his freshman season thus giving him three years to play three seasons at the Division I level.

He was supposed to enroll at Ok St in January 2014.

OSU football recruiting: Jeremiah Ledbetter's many moves put him square in Cowboys' sights
BY JOHN HELSLEY, Staff Writer, jhelsley@opubco.com

Schools search far and wide for defensive tackles, with the possibilities at the position both limited and coveted.

Jeremiah Ledbetter eased the search for Oklahoma State.

A one-time resident of Orlando, Fla., Ledbetter moved onto Glenn Spencer's radar by moving to Gainesville, Ga., for his senior season of high school. Spencer, OSU's defensive coordinator, is a Georgia native who has made a habit of pulling quality players out of his home state.

From there, Ledbetter moved even closer, spending two seasons at Hutchinson Community College in Kansas – one last checkpoint on his way to Stillwater. Hutch, long an area mined by the Cowboys, is also a junior college known well by OSU defensive tackles coach Joe Bob Clements, a former Kansas State assistant.

So Ledbetter eventually came into clear sight of Spencer and Clements, the two men charged with solidifying the Cowboys' defensive front.

“The facilities are the best and they have good people there and a good school,” Ledbetter told Scout.com when he committed back in June. “I have a good relationship with coach Clements and Coach Spencer.”

In his one season in Gainesville High, Ledbetter shined, playing a major role in a Red Elephants defense that led a deep run into the playoffs.

After redshirting his first season in an effort to add bulk – which he did, going from 6-foot-3 and 245 pounds to 281 pounds – Ledbetter earned first team All-Jayhawk Conference recognition.

Because of the redshirt season, Ledbetter will have three seasons of eligibility at OSU, adding to his appeal at a premium position.

While defensive tackle is always a recruiting priority, OSU's need increases with the departure of senior standout and All-Big 12 performer Calvin Barnett, as well as backups Anthony Rogers and Davidell Collins.

Ledbetter has always been considered a tackle, although he played end at Hutch, finishing second on the team with 73 tackles, which included seven sacks among 13 for losses. He also produced 13 quarterback hurries on a team that finished 8-4

I thought he signed with ok st. So just to clear things up?

1. Is he class of 2014 or 2015?
2. Has he reopened his recruitment and is free to come to miami?
