College career
By ESPN, Webb was ranked as a 4-star prospect coming out of high school and signed with the Texas Tech Red Raiders. Webb alternated as a backup quarterback behind fellow freshman Baker Mayfield and as a starter in 2013, becoming the second true freshman at the school to ever play for the university. An undetermined illness had affected Webb.
Webb's first game appearance in the game against TCU was against wide receiver Bradley Marquez, who threw the game-winning touchdown. Webb made his first appearance against Iowa State, where he passed for 415 yards and three touchdowns after an injury to Mayfield. For the first time in school history, his success was his fourth most yards passing.
He will put up his Iowa State record against West Virginia in a record-breaking performance. Webb went 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 his freshman season. In addition, Billy Joe Tolliver's yardage set a new school freshman passing record. The passing yardage set a new Big 12 Conference freshman record, beating Baylor's Nick Florence's record of 2009.
On 71 attempts for 425 yards, Webb had completed 45 passes against Oklahoma State. Overall, the number of completions and attempts ranked fourth overall, and second overall, behind Texas Tech quarterback Graham Harrell.
Webb suffered in an outing against Kansas State, and the second half did not participate in the second half. However, his 78 yards thrown put him over the previous record for the school single-season freshman passing yards, which was previously held by Zebbie Lethridge in 1994. Baker Mayfield will return to the starting lineup for the next two games against Baylor and Texas following Webb's poor results against Kansas State.
Following a'miscommunication' and the open competition for the starting position, Baker Mayfield, a fellow quarterback, and the 2013 Holiday Bowl, it was announced that Baker Mayfield would leave the school following a'miscommunication' and the open competition for the starting position.

In the 37–23 upset, he finished the game with 403 yards, 28–41 passing, and four touchdowns, tying a Holiday Bowl touchdown record and winning MVP awards.
Webb will finish his freshman season with multiple Big 12 Conference freshman records: single game total offense, single game offensive plays, most 400 yard passing attempts, and passing yards in a single game. Passes completed in a single game His success also set school freshman records for completions, attempts, touchdowns, passing yards, and 400 yard games.
