Jevan Bryce Snead (born September 2, 1987, in San Angelo, Texas) plays college football as a quarterback for Ole Miss. At the end of 2006 he transferred from the University of Texas.

While in high school, Snead originally committed to Florida but decided to come to Texas instead when the Florida coaching staff continually lied to him about their recruitment of top high school recruit Tim Tebow.[1] Snead came to Texas as a highly touted high-school player, having been a prep All-American, two-time all-state player.[2] Coming into the 2006 Texas Longhorn football season, he was competing for the starting role with redshirt freshman Colt McCoy. McCoy won the starting role, making Snead the back-up quarterback. Snead had played in seven of Texas' first 11 games, including playing most of the game against Kansas State University due to an injury to McCoy. On 1 December 2006, the Longhorns announced that Snead would transfer from Texas,[3] and it was later announced that he will transfer to Ole Miss to play.[4]

High school career

Jevan Snead is a prep All-American, two-time all-state and two-time all-district performer for Stephenville(Texas) High School, who finished his high school career with a 23-2 (.920) record as a starter.[2] As a senior, he was named to the 2006 Parade All-America team.[2] He was also listed as a second-team All-American by EA Sports and he earned an invitation to the Elite 11 Quarterback Camp.[2] Snead was selected to the 2006 U.S. Army All-American Bowl and finished the game with the second-most passing yards in the history of that game, as he threw for 147 yards and two TDs.[2]

Snead originally committed to Florida but decided to come to Texas instead when the Gator coaching staff was less than truthful about their recruitment of top high school recruit Tim Tebow prior to his committing to Florida.[1] Snead revised his decision immediately after a recruiting trip to Texas where he watched the 2005 Texas Longhorn football team beat Kansas by a score of 66-14.[5]

Snead's last high school game was a 41-38 loss in the Texas 4A Division 1 State semi-finals against Highland Park. That team was led by the current starting quarterback at the University of Georgia, Matthew Stafford. Snead and Stafford may meet again in an SEC match-up in the future.

College career

Through 11 November 2006, Snead has completed 26 of 48 passing attempts, for a total of 371 passing yards.[6] He has also thrown 2 touchdown passes and one intereception.[6] He has also made a solo tackle on the defensive player who recovered a fumble.[6]

Jevan Snead throws an interception vs Texas A&M

During the November 11 2006 game against Kansas State University, McCoy suffered a stinger shoulder injury[7][8][9] while rushing for a touchdown on the very first drive of the game.[10] The Longhorns trailed by 21 points in the second half and Snead brought them within 3 points of tying the game. However, the Longhorns failed to recover an on-sides kick and UT lost in an upset to the Wildcats 45-42.[10] The game has the distinction of being the most points ever scored by a UT team in a losing effort.[11] UT defensive coordinator Gene Chizik said "The quarterback had a great night and we just didn't play great sudden-change defense".[12] Head coach Mack Brown also had praise for Snead's performance coming off the bench, adding "If he plays in the game in two weeks, he'll be much more ready."[13]

There was speculation that Snead might be the starter for the final regular season game because it was unknown whether McCoy would return for the Longhorns season closer against arch-rival Texas A&M on November 24 2006.[14][15][16] The week prior to the game, Longhorns announced that McCoy was cleared to play the game against the Aggies.[17] McCoy played almost the entire game only to be injured with 20 seconds remaining by a "viscious, stadium hushing tackle" by an Aggie defensive end.[18] Snead, attempting to come from behind 12-7 with so little time on the clock, threw an interception to end the game.[19]

It has been officially decided that he will transfer to Ole Miss to play.[4] Due to NCAA transfer rule, Snead has to sit out 2007 season, but will have three years of eligibility remaining, beginning with the 2008 season.
