Davis Webb, the Texas Tech graduate transfer quarterback who originally committed to spend his final year of eligibility in Boulder with Mike MacIntyre, has reportedly chosen to spend next season in Berkeley for Sonny Dykes and the Cal Bears.
Have been able to confirm former Texas Tech QB Davis Webb will not be transferring to #CUBuffs like he originally planned. He is Cal bound.

Munsterteiger, of Rivals.com/Buffstampede.com, was the first to report the news this afternoon.
Webb committed to Colorado on January 27, following Darrin Chiaverini from Lubbock to Boulder and becoming the presumed starter for a Buffs football team in search of a starting signal caller. With Sefo Liufau’s health in question after suffering from a Lisfranc injury suffered last season and redshirt-freshman Steven Montez still green, MacIntyre needed a quarterback ready to take the Buffs back to bowl eligiblity–a pivotal step for MacIntyre’s job security moving forward.
Over the past month, Webb had taken visits to Cal and Auburn (reportedly) and made it known that he wasn’t done deciding where he would play next season despite keeping his Twitter bio updated with, “Committed to Colorado.”
For those wondering, Webb signed a Fiancial Aid Agreement with Colorado as opposed to a Letter of Intent, the latter of which would have prevented those visits and the flirtatious nature of his recruiting process with other schools.
Webb’s former coach had this to say about the situation on Twitter:

Well, shit. You can’t be upset about not getting something that you never had, but man does this look bad for CU. I wonder if the Cal fanbase is questioning his decision-making ability and leadership skills because he committed to CU and the changed his mind like our fanbase was doing.
We were not really questioning his decision making at all but more of the thinking of the staff as we have a ton of young guys competing for the job. bringing in a grad transfer pretty much says none of our guys are ready.
the big downfall on this is we will likely have a qb transfer out as they have to wait another year to play despite putting in all the work in the spring
