College career

Webb received an athletic scholarship to attend the University of Florida in Gainesville, Florida,[3] where he played for coach Ron Zook and coach Urban Meyer's Florida Gators football teams from 2003 to 2005.[4] As a junior in 2005, he started twelve games at cornerback, led the Southeastern Conference (SEC) in passes defended, and was a first-team All-SEC selection.[3] Webb decided to forgo his senior season, and declared himself eligible for the NFL Draft.
