Webb is a 6-3, 165-pound seventh-grader. According to his Hudl account, he’s the 25th-ranked quarterback in the Class of 2020. McGee is Louisville's offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach.
Webb’s announcement was met with mixed results on Twitter.
@teewebb9 @GarrickMcGee Petrino is scum of the earth. Hey kid...what kind of guy offers 13 year olds scholarships? Think about that.
