More fish, less chicken key to Ledbetter's change

FAYETTEVILLE — Jeremiah Ledbetter weighs about the same.

Arkansas' senior defensive tackle entered this week's camp listed at 280 pounds to go alongside his 6-foot-3 frame.

But anyone who saw Ledbetter a year ago can see the change in his physique. He lost about 5 pounds in the off-season and regained the weight in summer conditioning.

Those 280 pounds are more muscle and less fat than he carried last August when he was gearing up for his first season with the team.

What's the difference? Ledbetter says it is staying away from all the chicken restaurants on the south side of campus.
