Texas QB Jevan Snead may transfer to Ole Miss

[Nate Harris]

Former Texas quarterback Jevan Snead is looking for a new school this month. And, according to his high school coach, the highly rated quarterback has Ole Miss included among his list of potential destinations. Stephenville (Texas) High coach Chad Morris said Snead has been released from his scholarship and is considering the Rebels, Texas Christian and Louisville. In fact, Morris said members of the Ole Miss staff met with Snead on Friday.

"I think there's some interest from Ole Miss and some interest from Jevan," Morris said. "He's basically just looking for the right fit right now. ... He doesn't want to come into a situation where they've got a lot of young quarterbacks.

"He just got out of that situation at Texas."

Snead was rated as the nation's sixth-best quarterback by Scout.com out of high school. He also was a four-star prospect according to Rivals.com and part of their top 100 prospects. The 2005 Parade All-American chose Texas over schools like Florida, Auburn and Oklahoma last year. But he watched Colt McCoy, a redshirt freshman, win the starting job and throw a school-record 27 touchdown passes in 2006.

I heard he was going to transfer but I didn't know he was thinking about Ole Miss. I guess Ole Miss is always in the market for quarterback transfers.

RTR forever!

One has to wonder how Old Miss is able to sign 150 new recruits each year.

I think he's gonna be a player-coach. Won't count against the limit.
I think they have 48 player-coaches.

Didn't he originally commit to Florida and then changed to Texas when Tebow went with UF? Now he's tucking tail and leaving Texas because of Colt McCoy and looking for someplace where they don't have any good QB's. Hmmm, sounds like the kid is not much of a competitor. Ole Myth would be the right place, Orgeron will name someone the starter before they ever set foot on campus. _lol: _lol: _lol:

I was wondering the same thing. Don't they already have 18 5-star recruits for the 2014 class, all of which will decommit before NSD 2014? :rolleye2:

Seriously though, he has done extremely well recruiting for the facilities, tradition, and state of the program that he has to work with. I'm wondering if the talent he's bringing in will ever show more than 6 wins in a season though.
