Webb makes his way to Defiance after serving as the wide receivers coach, defensive backs coach, and special teams coordinator at Ridgemont High School where he coached an All-Conference wide receiver, All-Conference punter, and statistically had the best defense in school history.

Prior to his time at Ridgemont High School, he spent a season at Lock Haven University where he coached wide receivers and special teams. While there, he helped lead the offense to its only season in school history with 2,000 yards passing and 2,000 yards rushing, assisted coaching All-American tight end Jalen Jackson and All-Conference running back Chance Swartz.

Before coaching at Lock Haven University, he spent two seasons at Urbana University where he coached wide receivers. While at Urbana, he coached All-Conference and current professional football player Trevon Saunders. In 2016, he coached defensive backs at Mount Vernon High School and developed two First Team All-Conference defensive backs and one Honorable Mention All-Conference defensive back.

As a player, Webb spent four seasons at Urbana University as a wide receiver. He was a four year starter, two-time captain, three time All-Conference selection, had over 1,000 yards receiving twice, won two GLFC Championships in 2010 and 2011, led the NCAA Division II in yards per receptions in 2011, and finished his career at Urbana as the all-time leader in career yards, receptions, and receiving touchdowns.

He has professional coaching experience at the NCAA Division II/III and high school levels.
