I know many will remember Spencer for his talent on the football field. But he was one of the most genuine, kind, and compassionate people I’ve ever met. He left his mark on everyone who had the pleasure of meeting him. Tell your loved ones you love them.

A fifth-year junior in 2022, Webb was a 4-star prospect coming out of Christian Brothers High School. He redshirted in his first year with the Ducks in 2018 before playing regularly the following year.

Webb set career highs with 209 receiving yards and three touchdowns in 2019. He only played in the Pac-12 Championship Game against USC during the COVID-19 shortened season in 2020.

His first career touchdown catch came in the second quarter of the 2019 season opener against Auburn at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

Last season saw Webb appear in a career-high 11 games for the Ducks. The California had 87 yards and one touchdown on 13 receptions.

Webb was used primarily as a blocking tight end during his time with the Ducks.
