The saying goes athletes want to be music stars, and music stars want to be athletes. A friendship strung together by imitating Jason Derulo’s song “Trumpets” down the then-seventh grader Quddus Ogunbase’s road at midnight bonded the friends. As they got older, you could catch them on a different recording. One that earned them the chance to play collegiate football.
San Marcos defensive backs Kannon Webb and Ogunbase celebrated their commitments to Texas State and Mary Hardin-Baylor, respectively, on Wednesday together as longtime best friends.
Webb has had one of the most successful individual careers in a Rattler uniform in school history. First-year head football coach John Walsh spoke on behalf of the senior, saying that “if I had to pick a position coach to speak for him, they would all be up here.” Walsh designated himself the speaker, highlighting the Texas State commit as one of the reasons he took the San Marcos job.
