LSU had an uphill battle to get Webb on its roster. A Georgia native, Webb is from Lanier which is about an hour northwest of Athens; it’s also two and a half hours away from Auburn, and the other Tigers have had recent success getting talent out of Lanier, signing Derrick Brown in 2016. But it was Florida who got out in front of LSU, Auburn and Georgia, offering Webb a scholarship August 30, 2018. LSU offered Webb three days later and Auburn followed suit at the end of September.
