Early enrollee

Notable: Webb tallied two interceptions and rushed for seven scores as a junior. He ranked fourth in the national AAU indoor championships in the triple jump. He reported offers from Florida State, Miami, NC State, Utah, and Wake Forest among more FBS programs.

Mickey Conn on Webb: "From a player standpoint, we're getting a very dynamic player. A guy who can really, really run and change direction really, really fast. As a person, just an awesome family and always has a smile on his face...Great ball skills...Tremendous quickness, tremendous speed..."

Quotable: “Dabo talked to my parents about the program. He introduced and talked about the incredible staff, the incredible men he had, and then even the players that he knew personally. He really cares about his players and how he offers all his players a chance to come back. He has alumni on the coaching staff, everything just from the activities, the atmosphere, the school education, all of it, just really struck me. And I knew that's where I want to be and that's where I committed to, and that was home.” – Webb on what sealed his commitment to Clemson in the summer.

Depth chart fit: Clemson has shown no issues with plugging in young defenders in the secondary and Webb will get his chance to compete for a role early as the Tigers figure out how to fit the pieces together at defensive back next season.
