Dunavant graduated from the University of Louisiana-Monroe and then received his master's degree from the University of Arkansas. Webb, who also is in charge of recruiting student trainers to ACU, is beginning her third year at ACU. Webb, a 1995 magna cum laude graduate of Tarleton State University, received her master's of education from Tarleton State in 1997. She also is a licensed athletic trainer (LAT).
Her experience includes from student athletic trainer (1991-95 at Tarleton State) and instructor of physical education at TSU in 1996.
