Katherine Webb's week has become even more interesting.
Webb, the reigning Miss Alabama USA and the girlfriend of Alabama quarterback AJ McCarron, will appear in Sports Illustrated?s swimsuit issue which comes out on Feb. 11.
Webb, who is a professional model, said in an interview with SI that she was "completely dumbfounded? by the call to appear in the issue.
Regarding her sudden fame, Webb said, ?It was so shocking to me because literally overnight I go from being AJ's girlfriend and going to support him in the (BCS National) Championship Game to being on every major media news outlet. It's just so surprising to me. I don't know what God has planned, but obviously he's working on something.?
Webb added that ?every single model wants to be in Sports Illustrated, and I feel extremely blessed to have that opportunity.?
Webb has been in the news ever since ESPN?s Brent Musburger commented on her looks when the camera cut to her in the stands during Monday's game in Miami Gardens, Fla.
ESPN has since apologized for the comments, though Webb said she hadn?t heard from the network personally. Webb said she had no issue with Musburger's comments.
Webb was also asked about the social media buzz that Monday night's appearance generated. The amount of her Twitter followers has skyrocketed, from just over 500 before the game to more than 263,000.
?I don't think it became real to me until after I left the stadium and a reporter walked up to me and asked if I realized what was happening, because my phone was dead, so I had no idea what was going on. He was like, 'Do you realize you are the star of the game?' I was like, 'No, what are you talking about?' So he told me the cameras focused on me and AJ's mom (who was sitting with Webb) and I had over 100,000 Twitter followers, and I was like, 'Wait a minute, are you serious?'"
With her appearance in SI's most popular issue, her popularity is sure to skyrocket even more.
