Tony Webb joined the strength & conditioning staff of Purdue Athletics in February 2021. He served as the football team's associate director for his first 17 months before taking over as the leader of baseball's strength & conditioning program in July 2022. He also works with Purdue track & field.
Webb has worked in the industry since 2010, following his transition from team captain on the football team to a dual role as a strength & conditioning and position coach at his alma mater Louisiana College (now known as Louisiana Christian University). He coached both the defensive line and linebackers as a position coach. As a player, he was as four-year letterwinner, leadership council member and honored as the team’s most outstanding defensive lineman. The dean’s list student earned his bachelor’s degree in communications.
Webb also worked with Purdue head coach Greg Goff from 2014 to 2015 at Louisiana Tech and in 2017 at Alabama. He’s served as the director of strength & conditioning at Southern University and enjoyed multi-year stints as a strength coach with the football programs at Eastern Illinois (2015-17) and Southern California (2018-21).
“I am excited for the opportunity and privilege to be a part of Purdue baseball,” Webb says. “Coach Goff and I first met eight years ago at Louisiana Tech, where I developed a tremendous amount of respect for him as a person and a coach. We also had the opportunity to team up again at Alabama a few years later. When I had the opportunity to come to Purdue in the winter of 2021, Coach Goff’s relationship with Coach Brohm certainly played to my benefit. And while my time with football was a great experience, I am looking forward to working directly with Coach Goff, his staff and being a part of what they are building.”
