Four-star running back Treyaun Webb is the kind of player Billy Napier wants to keep in Florida, and the two will get a chance to meet face to face in March, according to 247Sports.
Webb, the sixth-best running back on the 247Sports Composite, is set to meet with Florida’s new staff on March 3 when the Jacksonville Trinity Christian prospect stops by campus. It won’t be his first time on campus, but it will be Webb’s first real taste of what Florida now has to offer.
Napier and defensive analyst Jamar Chaney made a stop by Webb’s school in January, and running backs coach Jabbar Juluke paid him a visit as well. He’s eager to meet the staff in person after keeping in contact for a while.
“I have been talking to them on the phone a lot, especially Coach Napier,” Webb said to 247Sports. “That is one of the things that is most different now, because Coach Napier is really involved with recruiting. He’s even more involved than the position coaches sometimes, so that is a plus. I just want to get there and see how they are looking there.”
The staff has done a good job of making Webb feel like a priority. Napier wants to keep nearby talent at home, and Florida amped up its recruiting after being left out of his top 11. The idea is that the players will be more likely to give their all to a program if it’s in their home state.
Webb has already backed off of two commitments so far. Georgia and Oklahoma briefly held pledges from the 6-foot-1-inch, 205-pounder, but now Webb says he wants to finish taking official visits over the summer before deciding. The plan is to make a decision going into his senior year of high school and to enroll early once it’s over.
247Sports ranks Webb as the No. 106 overall player in the class of 2023 and No. 23 in the state of Florida.
