Before Fame

He also swam and played basketball competitively. Coming out of Christian Brothers High School, Webb was a consensus four-star, top-10 tight end, and top 300 prospect as rated by ESPN, Rivals, and 247Sports. He'd also been recruited by California, Texas A&M, Florida State, and UCLA.

Trivia

He was the only tight end signed to Oregon in 2018. His teammates nicknamed him "Spider."

Webb's older brother gained legal guardianship of Spencer when Spencer was 13 and Cody 29. The two rarely saw or heard from their mother or father. Cody and his girlfriend then wife raised Spencer as if he was their only son.
