One of the most bizarre deals ever. Huge recruit, Top 5 linebacker and just never any news at all for 2 years until now this. Hate it for him. Tragic and sucks all around but perhaps he can find the best in it and make a solid future.

What’s even wilder is his teammate Sampah that came in with him was also a top 6 nationally rated LB and he has also been a ghost. Extremely rare to sign two guys that highly rated at the same position and both not make any impact by beginning of 3rd year nor transfer.

Josh White too though he transferred to Baylor. We’re fortunate to still be somewhat solid at LB despite what was a banner class that seemingly went 0-3.

They weren’t all the same type of linebackers though. Webb is a tweener , that’s what kept him from developing I believe

I thought Webb was from Georgia and Sampah from Virginia?

Sampah had a back injury that ultimately required surgery. Hopefully he will get in the rotation this year now that he is back to full health.

Webb is a natural 3-4 LB so that stunted his development even without the concussions.
Sampah was never the same after a HS injury that ruined his final 2 years
White was a typical, undersized ,modern LB that people take chances on because of speed and athleticism.
None are complete surprises as busts. Definitely disappointing for us though
