USU football: local wide receiver not changing his approach despite scholarship

“Playing Division I football is probably one of the hardest things anyone could ever do,” Webb said. “With all the meetings, all the stress it puts on your body, with the practices and the plays you have to learn.”

Webb’s future goals include the possibility of becoming a part of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), another task that will take a lot of hard work and dedication.

Luckily, Webb thinks the training and lessons he has learned through football will continue to be beneficial.

“Football makes you become more of a man,” Webb said. “I think I’ll be able to accomplish any task or job I may have, just because of the work ethic I learned here and playing football.”

With the collective team goal of securing the Western Athletic Conference title and winning a bowl game, Webb is ready to step up and do his part as a scholarship player.

“I just want to make plays when my number is called. I’m going to do whatever the coaches want me to do,” Webb said. “We strive to be perfect every day. It’s mostly a mental thing. We’ve got the talent on the team; we just need to take it one day, one week at a time.”

In the end, Webb pins down his success and his drive to a simple mantra.

“Work hard,” he said. “It will get you what you want.”
