Elijah Webb Elijah Webb 6'2" | 170 lbs | ATH Paris | 2025 State KY is a valuable free safety prospect that can enforce defensive turnovers and help make defensive stops across the gridiron. Webb, a 6’2 172lb 2025 grad from Paris High School, tied for the entire state 1A class with 8 recorded interceptions, placed 1st in total net yards after the interception with 226, and returned an interception for a touchdown in 12 games played. Like his linebacker teammates, Elijah has been able to develop incredible field vision and QB reads that enable him to place himself in the right place to put pressure on the intended receiver target before it gets to him. Not only that, but Webb can even catch a lot of interceptions because of this tactic, along with the fact that Elijah’s freakish athleticism allow him to get up high for throws and still come down with them despite lots of contact from the intended receiver. Even if it is a throw that is going across the other side of the field, Webb can detect the set play early and align himself with the trajectory of the throw to make it easy for him to make the pick. I also want to mention that Webb has great skills running with the football as well since he can produce sharp jabs that can create space off opposing tackles. This helped him gain lots of yards after the initial interception. As of this spring, there has not been officially reported interest from collegiate schools but expect this to change within at least the next 2 years for Elijah.
