Indianola, MS — Excitement is building in Indianola as speculation intensifies around the potential hiring of Aaron Webb to the Gentry High School football program. Webb, a former two-time NCAA Division I FCS champion and standout HBCU safety, was recently spotted at the Delta State High School Showdown, fueling buzz about his possible involvement with the Rams.
A very talented and highly respected player during his time at both the University of Tennessee at Martin and Mississippi Valley State University, Webb made a strong impact across the FCS landscape. Known for his sharp athleticism, physicality, and will to win, Webb could bring a valuable competitive edge and proven mindset to the Gentry program — if the move becomes official.
In addition to his collegiate accomplishments, Webb also brings national-level experience from his work with the U.S. Army All-American Bowl operations, where he has been deeply involved in scouting, athlete recruitment, and training. His football journey began with standout success at the high school level, where he earned recognition as a High School Offense-Defense All-American, was named First Team All-Conference as a defensive back, and was considered one of the top DBs in the state of Missouri in the Class of 2019. This combination of elite playing experience and behind-the-scenes football operations gives Webb a rare, well-rounded perspective that could significantly benefit Gentry's athletes and staff.
"Aaron Webb joining our staff would be monumental," said one source close to the program. "He understands what it takes to build a winning culture — and more importantly, he knows how to help young athletes reach that next level."
Webb's leadership extends far beyond the football field. He is a proud member of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc., having been initiated through the Immortal Tau Psi Chapter at the University of Tennessee at Martin and later affiliating with the Zeta Phi Chapter at Mississippi Valley State University. His commitment to service, mentorship, and community involvement mirrors the values that Gentry High School strives to instill in its student-athletes.
While no official announcement has been made, the growing buzz throughout the Gentry community and the Mississippi Delta suggests something special could be on the horizon. The potential addition of Aaron Webb represents more than just a boost to the football program — it represents a commitment to excellence, discipline, and legacy.
Webb also expressed gratitude to Gentry, Head Coach Farrow, Coach Ivory, and Coach James for the opportunity to even be considered for a role that could positively impact the program and its student-athletes.
