It was a four-star Friday night for Virginia Tech. Cornerback Jeremy Webb announced his commitment to the Hokies while many were at holiday parties or studying for finals recovering from too much reading day partying.
Done Deal.. 🦃#7 Out ✌🏽 pic.twitter.com/vvkWlrHgUU— Jeremy Webb / 7Era❕ (@JeremyRayshad1) December 16, 2017
The hot commodity corner opted for Tech over offers from West Virginia, Tennessee, and Nebraska among other schools. With seniors Greg Stroman and Brandon Facyson set to play their final game in maroon and orange against Oklahoma State, and the possible early departure of Adonis Alexander, Tech needed to bolster its depth at cornerback. The 247Sports Composite 4-star ASA College (JUCO) product aids that effort. At 6-3 and armed with quick hips, Webb is in the mold of rangy corners who can press and cover deep routes (fades).
"They have a history with long corners, long DBs period in the secondary," Webb told The Key Play in November after his official visit. "They just said I'm a great fit, I can play, I can run, and I'm mature. They can bring in a mature guy right away to help some of the other guys out that are in the secondary. Just being a leader on and off the field, they just really believe in my style of play."
"It just felt right," the 6-foot-3, 195-pound Webb said. "They showed me love from the beginning. I have a great relationship with all the coaches. When I took my (official) visit, they really made me feel like a priority. They really made me feel at home. For me, it was kind of like a no-brainer."
He discussed his decision with Brian Dohn of 247Sports.
He said Virginia Tech's reputation in developing defensive backs was important.
"It definitely played a part," Webb said. "I'm trying to play at the next level. I just wanted to be coached by the best coaches that I felt like put me in the best position to go play at the next level. They explained to me all the things I need to get there."
Webb committed to Hokies coach Justin Fuente, who was in a car with defensive coordinator Bud Foster.
"It was a great feeling to get this process done and out of the way," Webb said. "He was very excited. He was driving with coach Foster and they were yelling. They were excited for me and excited for the program."
