Ethan Lege signs baseball scholarship to Ole Miss

Vermilion Catholic graduate Ethan Lege, who is playig baseball for Delgado University in New Orleans, signed a National Letter of Intent Wednesday to formalize his commitment to transfer to Ole Miss to continue his baseball career for the 2022-2023 academic year.
Lege was joined by his family and friends to sign the agreement in the Delgado Student Life Center.
In his remarks at the event, Delgado Head Coach Joe Scheuermann said, “Today is a great day for Ethan, the Lege family, and our program as Ethan signs with one of the country’s premier programs. It’s an honor for us to have a player and person of Ethan’s caliber as a vital part of our program and we couldn’t be prouder of his accomplishments and his future career.”
Lege batted .397 in 47 games during Delgado’s 2021 season, including 58 hits, 15 doubles, and 41 RBIs. He transferred to Delgado last season after playing at Nicholls State University during the pandemic-abreviated 2020 season.
Ethan will conclude his Delgado academic and athletic career this spring before transferring to Ole Miss in the fall.
He adds, “I’m really looking forward to the opportunity to continue my career as part of one of the top programs in the SEC. As soon as I visited campus and stepped onto the field, I felt at home and knew it was a place I wanted to be.”
Lege may have the distinction of being the first Vermilion Catholic graduate to sign a baseball scholarship with an SEC school.
The Class A school has already had SEC signees in other sports such as girls basketball and in football.
