QB Davis Webb Commits to Colorado Buffaloes for 2016

Former Texas Tech standout Davis Webb will become a graduate transfer to the University of Colorado following graduation this spring. He will be eligible to play immediately for the Buffaloes and head coach Mike MacIntyre. Webb made his commitment public today via Twitter (@Davis_Webb7).

"Thank you @CoachMikeMac and CU for the opportunity... I have committed to Colorado!"

Webb is very highly thought of by his coaches at Texas Tech. Head coach Kliff Kingsbury called Webb "the hardest working individual I've ever had the privilege of coaching," and added that Webb "will immediately change the outlook" of whatever program Webb finally chooses. Kingsbury also added that Webb has the tools to be a "top 5" NFL pick.

The 6 foot 5, 220 lb. Webb has thrown for 46 touchdowns (against 22 interceptions) and 5,557 yards in his career. He will graduate this spring after just 3 years at Texas Tech. He is only 20 years old.

Fox Sports reports that Colorado 3 year starter at QB is now expected to miss the 2016 season due to a serious Lisfranc injury suffered late in the 2015 season. The other quarterbacks on the Colorado roster have only a combined three starts (and zero victories) in their CU careers.

New Co-offensive coordinator Darrin Chiaverini also came from Texas Tech, and posted on Twitter (@CoachChev6):
