Spencer Webb's model girlfriend pens heartbreaking tribute to the late Oregon tight end

The Oregon football community is in mourning following the death of tight end Spencer Webb on Wednesday. His girlfriend, model Kelly Kay, shared her touching tribute in an Instagram post with several photos of them together on Thursday.

“My best friend my twin flame the love of my life,” Kay wrote. “I’ve never loved anything as much as I love you. You were my everything, you gave me purpose, you showed me what it’s like to be cherished and valued and seen for me. We had so many big plans. I don’t know where to go from here but I know you’ll be watching over me keeping me strong. You always put everybody else before yourself and I’ll try to hold the same kindness in my heart … from this life to the next one baby I love you so much and I’ll find you again.”

Oregon Live’s Aaron Fentress initially shared on Wednesday that Webb passed away in a “tragic accident.” That report was later confirmed by the Sacramento Bee, stating that Webb died during a cliff diving accident.

Webb was getting ready for his redshirt junior season with the Ducks after starting three games last year. He had 13 receptions for 87 yards and a lone touchdown which came against Arizona. He joined the Ducks in 2018, but redshirted that season and then only played one game due to injury during the COVID-19-impacted 2020 campaign. Last season was his first full year since 2019. In 2019, he played in 12 games, totaling 18 receptions for 209 yards and three touchdowns. Webb was 22 years old.

Kay made national headlines in 2020 at the Super Bowl in Kansas City when she streaked on the field. Hard Rock Stadium security took the Instagram model down with a tackle, which she later alleged injured her.

More on Spencer Webb

Webb, a Sacramento, California native, was gearing up to compete for a big role on a new-look Oregon team. Former Georgia defensive coordinator Dan Lanning took over for Mario Cristobal as head coach after he left for Miami. Kenny Dillingham came in as offensive coordinator from Florida State.

In June, Webb compared Dillingham’s system to the one he saw growing up — back when Marcus Mariota was under center.

“I grew up an Oregon fan, and seeing this offense now reminds me of when I was a kid,” Webb said, via ScoopDuck’s Jarrid Denney. “Watching Marcus Mariota and those guys run down the field and make plays. … That’s what’s got me most excited.”

Webb arrived in Eugene as a four-star recruit and the No. 11 tight end prospect in the country from the class of 2018, according to the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.
