Davis Webb (born January 22, 1995) is an American football quarterback. He played college football at Texas Tech from 2013 to 2015 and California in 2016.
Webb played at the high school level for Prosper High School in his hometown of Prosper, Texas under coach Kent Scott. While at Prosper, Webb would guide the team to a district championship and a trip to the Texas 4A regional semifinals.
Webb earned several accolades and was named first team All-District as a junior and honorable mention All-State. Webb would graduate Prosper after passing for 2,658 yards, 589 yards rushing, and 36 touchdowns.
Webb was ranked a 4-star prospect coming out of high school by ESPN and signed with the Texas Tech Red Raiders. During his freshman year during the 2013 season, Webb alternated as a backup quarterback behind fellow freshman Baker Mayfield and as a starter, becoming only the second true freshman at the position to ever play for the school. Webb had been afflicted by an undetermined illness, and had lost 40 pounds in several days prior to the start of the season.
Webb made his first game appearance in the contest against TCU, where he threw the game-winning touchdown to wide receiver Bradley Marquez. Following an injury to Mayfield, Webb made his first career start in an appearance against Iowa State, which saw him pass for 415 yards and 3 touchdowns. His performance marked the fourth most yards passing for first time starter in school history.
He would follow up his Iowa State performance with a record-setting performance against West Virginia. Webb passed for 462 yards, 36–50 attempts, and two touchdowns, making Webb the first quarterback in school history to pass for over 400 yards twice in their freshman season. Additionally, the yardage broke the school freshman passing record previously held by Billy Joe Tolliver. The passing yardage also set a Big 12 Conference freshman passing record, beating the mark set by Baylor's Nick Florence in 2009.
