We may not ever look at a No. 4 on an Oregon Ducks football uniform the same way again.
That was the number the late Spencer Webb planned to wear in the 2022 season after switching over from No. 18 in 2021. Bennett Williams will don No. 4 to honor his friend who was lost to a tragic accident at Triangle Lake last week.
Switching uniform numbers from one season to another is a common occurrence in college football. But obviously, this has extra special meaning for Williams as well as the rest of the Ducks.
Not only did the Oregon safety switch to No. 4 on his chest and back, but Williams will also have that 4 forever as he had it tattooed on his arm. As one more thing to remember Webb, Williams changed his Twitter handle to @bennettw04.
In an article on On3.com, Williams had this to say about his buddy.
I’m so glad I got to really see and know Spencer like family. On my birthday this year, Spence spent the entire day with me, and made it one of the most memorable times of my life. We had times in which we fought and times in which we battled through struggle side by side, and that brought us closer than ever. I know you’ll continue to show us the way Spence, one way or another, with that light that shines inside you. Yesterday, you told me you had to tell me something. I’ll come hear you out soon.I love you brother!
