Deer Park Defensive End Luke Webb Decides to Ride with Oklahoma State

STILLWATER – Luke Webb made his official visit to Stillwater back during spring football on April 14-16, a fairly decent amont of time ago. He also visited California in June and held offers from Arizona, Houston, Indiana, Oregon State, Washington State, Kansas, and SMU among others. All that time Oklahoma State really never left his heart and mind. The 6-4, 280-pound Webb never felt about any others like he did about the Cowboys in Stillwater. 

“The visit was wonderful,” Webb said of his official on April 14-16. “Everyone was great and made the program seem more like a family than a business. I know it’s a business, but there it did seem more like family.”

As a junior, he finished with 52 tackles, 11 tackles-for-loss, and three sacks, not to mention all the plays made by teammates that his presence and his penetration into opposing backfields influenced. Webb was named the District 22-6A Defensive Player of the Year. Texas Football projects him to repeat in that role for this season.

This happens often with Webb on top and offensive players hugging the turf on Fridays.

In the weight room, Webb has shown to be a dynamo like he is on the field as he was one of the biggest and record setters this offseason and summer at Deer Park. He registered a combined 1070 pounds in the clean/bench/squat combined. He was tops on the team in the clean with a 330 pound max. He has his bench press up to 315 pounds and his squat max is 425. On top of that he is one of the quickest of the big guys for the Deer with a sub 5.0 in the forty and he is one of the most explosive of the defensive linemen with a standing broad jump of 96.5-inches. Webb is an all-around athlete. 

His clean is tops amoong all players at Deer Park and earlier this summer he showed his deterimnation in getting it.

“Give me one more week and that record is mine!”

You can envision seeing Webb and Nnodim (above) as future left and right players on the Pokes’ odd man front.

We mentioned Webb above in the same sentence with Mesquite (Horn), Texas defensive end Armstrong Nnodim (6-2, 260) because we really believe that Oklahoma State grabbed two of the best defensive line prospects in the State of Texas, Webb from the greater Houston area and Nnodim from the DFW Metroplex area. They both missed the Texas Football Magazine Top 10 defensive line list, but are right there on the best of the rest. There is a grand total of 37 defensive linemen listed including the top 10. It’s impossible to rate then accurately. I have looked at most of them on video and they both made my top 10 before either committed to Oklahoma State.

They are two different type players with the common factors being the agressive attitude shown and the physicality. Nnodim relies a lot on leverage and Webb on speed and strength. Both have plenty of results as you Both were All-District last season and Texas Football has both of them as the Preseason Defensive Players of the Year in their districts.
