Kansas offered at their Junior Day, however he's really hoping for a Missouri offer as he grew up a Tiger fan.

Webb waiting for a Mizzou offer

Union High School quarterback Jordan Webb hasn’t received an offer from Missouri yet, but he is probably the most qualified of any local quarterback to run the Tigers’ system. That’s because Webb has been playing in a version of Mizzou’s spread offense for the last two seasons and has put up numbers that would make any coach of a spread offense take a second look.

In two seasons, Webb has completed 59.7 percent of his passes for 7.438 yards and 135 touchdowns and 11 interceptions. His 4,279 yards and 55 touchdowns this season were 1,500 more yards and 30 more touchdowns than second-best quarterback in the area. His gaudy numbers earned him a trip to the U.S. Army All-American Bowl National Combine last December.

“We do a lot of the same stuff as Mizzou,” said Webb, the Post-Dispatch All-Metro first-teamer. “Coach (David) Yost and (Union) coach (Brent) Eckley talk quite often about that kind of stuff. We take some stuff from them.”

What Webb’s numbers haven’t earned him is college scholarships, in part because of his size. Webb is listed a 6-foot, 204 pounds, which so far has been attractive to only Kansas, Webb’s only offer. Like Missouri, Kansas utilizes a smaller quarterback in 5-foot-10 Todd Reesing to run its spread offense. Webb seemed liked a natural fit after he visited the Jayhawks’ junior day in mid-February.

Webb also will attend Iowa’s junior day on March 30 and has received interest from Indiana and Wake Forest.

Webb went to Missouri’s junior day last month and met with quarterbacks coach David Yost. Yost expressed interest but wasn’t ready to pull the trigger on another quarterback with Parkways West phenom Blaine Gabbert coming in this season, and Blue Springs South quarterback Blaine Dalton already committed to the Tigers for the 2009 season. Current quarterbacks Dominic Grooms and J.P. Tillman will be seniors in 2009.

“They already have one quarterback committed for my class so they said they’re going to be taking their time on the second one if they go for a second quarterback,” Webb said. “I think it would be fun to compete with those guys (Dalton and Gabbert). I definitely wouldn’t be scared away by the competition. That’s not going to be much of a factor when it comes to whom I’m choosing.

“I just want to go where I’m wanted most. Wherever I feel that is, that’s where I think I’d go. With Kansas being the first to offer me, it does sort of give them an edge, but it’s early.”
