Ryan Place

A former crew sock wearer, superstar athlete, and infamous “elbow boi”, Ryan Place has taken full advantage of the opportunities available to him at Webb, while also creating new resources for future Webbies. As club president of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, Ryan holds weekly meetings where he discusses the intersection of sports and God with his fellow club members, often hosting inspiring guest-speakers. After a transformative summer camp before his junior year, he realized that service through leadership was his calling. A self-described “gentle giant,” Ryan is a super fun friend, often found goofing around in the senior spot with his favorite sophomores or discovering newly crafted bass-boosted videos on Instagram. Ryan Vidales (‘18) says, “Ryan is like an almond joy— on the outside he looks like every other candy bar, but once you get to his core, you discover the qualities that make him unique.” Ryan Place will continue to pave new paths as he furthers his football career at the University of Redlands where he will study Business Management and Entrepreneurship.
