Katherine Webb has turned her famous showing at the BCS National Championship game into a Super Bowl gig.
According to USA Today, the Miss Alabama winner and Auburn alum will be covering the Super Bowl for Inside Edition on CBS, the network that will broadcast the game. Webb tweeted about the news on Wednesday night, writing: "So excited to be chosen to cover the Super Bowl XLVII for @InsideEdition in New Orleans!"
Webb did not reveal exactly what she will be doing, but it is another stunning move for the girlfriend of Alabama quarterback AJ McCarron. She also recently made news after it was reported that she would appear in the Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition and now she will have an NFL job before her boyfriend.
Webb skyrocketed in popularity after appearing on television during the national title game and receiving some praise from ESPN announcer Brent Musberger, who said "You quarterbacks, you get all the good looking women. What a beautiful woman."
Webb's Twitter profile shot up big time, following her first appearance on television with five minutes left in the first quarter. She jumped from 2,000 followers to over 104,000 after the game, including famous names like LeBron James and Arizona Cardinals defensive linemen Darnell Docket. She now has more followers than her boyfriend.
Following the game she wrote on Twitter: "So extremely blessed... @10AJMcCarron. Congrats to Alabama and making history! #BCSChamps" she wrote. Webb spoke to Yahoo! Sports' Dan Wetzel after the game about the situation, but said she didn't know about it yet.
"I guess [Musburger] said something but I don't know what it was because I haven't seen it," Webb told Wetzel.
After McCarron and Alabama wrapped the game up, the quarterback went over to his parents and kissed his girlfriend for all the cameras to see.
"That means he's a family guy, a mama's boy," Webb said with a laugh to Yahoo! Sports. "And I'm totally good with that. It's that personality that attracted me to him in the first place. It was never about his status on the team."
Social media was buzzing about Webb and she continued to be a web presence all throughout the celebration for Alabama, taking some of the shine away from McCarron and the Tide, but not for too long.
With his family and girlfriend in the stands, McCarron had one of his best games, passing for 264 yards and four touchdowns on 20 of 28 passes. The junior has now thrown for 10 touchdowns and just one interception over the past four games and helped him to become the first quarterback to win back-to-back titles.
"I'm truly blessed. I believe the man above always has a plan for you," McCarron said to ESPN.com. "He kind of lays down the grounds, and you can live it how you want [and] at the same time, make choices. It's great to do all this, but glorify in his name at the same time."
Webb arguably is more recognizable now than McCarron. The Sports Illustrated issue was a big thing to get offered, but the Super Bowl will be ever more exposure for the aspiring model and actress.
