When Romelo Webster committed to Cincinnati on May 14, he joined fellow Floridian Dontye Carrier-Williams in the 2016 defensive back recruiting class. With his tackling ability and ball-hawking skills, he has the look of a player that will be a steal for Bearcats.
Webster, while garnering offers from national programs such as Pittsburgh and Oregon State, has remained an underrated prospect by many top recruiting sites. Sites such as Rivals.com have him ranked as a 2-Star defensive back, as he has the ability to play either corner or safety in college. When comparing his senior and junior film it is obvious his play has made a tremendous jump and his rankings will soon follow suit.
