Virginia Tech transfer defensive back Jeremy Webb lands with Missouri State football

Missouri State is adding another FBS transfer to its secondary.

Bears head coach Bobby Petrino said during a Thursday afternoon Zoom call that former Virginia Tech defensive back Jeremy Webb will be with MSU in 2020.

Webb entered the transfer portal in May and was touted as one of the top juco defensive backs in the country before joining the Hokies. He figured to be a starter for Virginia Tech at some point, but back-to-back Achilles injuries led to him being a reserve.
