Little-touted Vandy running back Webb on pace to finish among SEC’s best

HOOVER, Ala. • Ralph Webb made what’s become his annual trip to The Wynfrey Hotel to represent Vanderbilt at Southeastern Conference Media Days, but unlike many of those gathered for the preseason event, Webb runs under most radars.

After three seasons as Vandy’s featured back, the senior and three-time Media Days participant stands 20th in SEC career rushing yards, with 3,342. A 1,000-yard season will bring Webb’s career total to fourth in the SEC, behind only Georgia’s Herschel Walker, Arkansas’ Darren McFadden and Louisiana State’s Kevin Faulk and push him past the likes of Auburn’s Bo Jackson, Florida’s Emmitt Smith and Louisiana State’s Leonard Fournette.
