AUSTIN – Texas freshman quarterback Jevan Snead has asked for a release from his scholarship in order to transfer, a source close to Snead said Wednesday.

Snead's availability for Texas' bowl game could be in question because Snead wants to enroll at a new school in January, the source said.

That would leave Texas with starter Colt McCoy and walk-on third-string QB Matt McCoy, who has never attempted a pass in a college game. The only other scholarship quarterback on the team is Sherrod Harris of Arlington Bowie, who is redshirting.

The source said TCU was a leading candidate to land Snead, a Parade All-American from Stephenville, although the source said Snead would like to take visits to other schools once he is released from his scholarship.

Snead completed 26 of 49 passes (53.1 percent) for 371 yards and two touchdowns with two interceptions in backup duty this season. Snead will have to sit out a year after transferring, but because he played this season, he can use his transfer year as a redshirt season and still have three years of eligibility left.

Snead lost the battle for starting quarterback to Colt McCoy, who was getting consideration for Heisman Trophy votes before suffering a stinger in the first quarter of a loss at Kansas State.

Colt McCoy set a school record for TD passes in a season with 27 and has throw seven interceptions.

Snead initially committed to Florida but changed to Texas after top high school recruit Tim Tebow committed to Florida.

i saw that, UT could be in a real tight spot if colt can't play and snead has already transferred.

This is some funny shit. Snead originally committed to Florida then changed his mind when Tebow signed there. Then he couldn't beat out a 2A redshirt frosh QB once in Austin? And now he's bailing on his team before their bowl game when Colt left on a stretcher less than a week ago.

I don't give a shit if Jevan's a former Parade All-American or not. He's quitting on his current team when they need him now more than ever, and that shows some serious character issues. If he's worrying about transferring for the spring semester, it's not like the Horns are playing in a January bowl game. Chris Simms, also a former All-Everything high school QB, didn't transfer when he wasn't named the immediate starter over some kid with less talent that was winning games. He busted his ass in the weight room and in practice and made this same head coach make a difficult decision. (Of course, the media situation didn't hurt either.)

If he winds up at TCU (and the Star Telegram apparently thinks that's what's happening), good riddance. The Frogs play UT in Austin next year.

That's technically true. But when Snead committed ot UT, VY hadn't yet announced he was going pro. So Snead figured that Colt's 1-year headstart in learning the system would be moot - Snead would have a year to catch up to Colt while VY closed out his own eligibility. Obviously that didn't happen, and last Spring/Summer wasn't enough for Snead to make up the ground on Colt.

If he's worrying about transferring for the spring semester, it's not like the Horns are playing in a January bowl game.
I don't believe that's official yet.

Chris Simms, also a former All-Everything high school QB, didn't transfer when he wasn't named the immediate starter over some kid with less talent that was winning games. He busted his ass in the weight room and in practice and made this same head coach make a difficult decision.
Applewhite was a year ahead of Simms - that's the difference. Even if Major went on to win 3 Heisman trophies, Simms was still guaranteed to get his shot eventually. This is why USC is able to keep stockpiling 5-star QB's - they each know they'll get a chance at some point.

Colt and Snead are both freshman. It was going to be a lot harder for Snead to beat out Colt now. Remember how everytime Simms threw a pick people would groan for Major? It would be the same (or worse) if Snead was starting next year and Colt was backing him up. Then imagine another 2 years of that. No way any UT fan should ever have expected both Snead and Colt to stick around.

If he winds up at TCU (and the Star Telegram apparently thinks that's what's happening), good riddance. The Frogs play UT in Austin next year.
I don't see why this matters for next year - Snead's not eligible to play for a 1A team until the following year due to transfer rules.

I don't give a shit if Jevan's a former Parade All-American or not. He's quitting on his current team when they need him now more than ever, and that shows some serious character issues.
The only issue I have - like you - is with the timing. It really sucks this came out now instead of after the bowl. But the writing's on the wall that he's got a tough road ahead of him at UT. Either this 5-star recruit becomes the next Matt Nordgren, or he unseats Colt and spends the next few years having to look over his shoulder. You really can't blame him for wanting a fresh start.

Well as UT fans, we're obviously disappointed about our bowl prospects. But I find it hard to find fault with Jevan's decision.

^ Saw this coming a while back, most Horn fans I know (myself included) thought Snead would be out of here once Colt really locked down the starting QB spot. Hate to see Snead go, but I can't really fault him for looking for more of a playing opportunity. I'm also not too worried about the QB spot since we've got Brantley and Chiles coming in-both are 5 star QB recruits, with Brantley being ranked as the #2 QB prospect in the entire country. Chiles could possibly be moved to WR unless he makes a strong case for playing QB. Good luck to Snead, I think he's got some real potential as a QB.

Mr Dio

11-30-2006, 03:40 PM

Even if he does R/S, Brantley very well could be the next real mega star @ QB for UT.
We've all seen how quick a QB can go down with an injury.
I think this may change Brantley's mind on R/S.
IMO Brantley could beat out Colt in 2 yrs.

Fucking good, i'd rather UT lose in their bowl game than see that fucking loser in a UT uniform again. Snead is the biggest abortion of a quarterback since Bucky Richardson. This season is already a dismal dismal failure, we've blown big bowl games before in 'successful' seasons so i'd rather play colt and or matt instead of seeing Snead's suck ass on the field ever again.

I didn't realize Sherrod was redshirting, no wonder they didn't put him in the Kansas State game.

Correction, Chris Simms was the biggest abortion of a quarterback and still is... Gradowski from Toledo is even better than he is for Tampa Bay

Ballcox

11-30-2006, 05:32 PM

^ Dio, don't discount this Chiles kid. I've watched some of his high school video and the kid is simply amazing on the field, reminds me a bunch of VY. He played QB full time for the first time this season and put up some impressive stats on a pretty average team. He has big time speed in the open field and a pretty strong arm as well. Now, I don't think he's as polished as Brantley, but man when you look at those raw athletic attributes he has.....................it's going to be interesting to see how things shake out at the QB spot.

Also, Brantley and his dad have both said that they plan for him to RS his first year at UT, want to give him some time to adjust to the college game and also improve his physical size/strength. He's kind of a skinny kid right now, one year on the weights and conditioning should help him.

Chiles reminds me of Reggie Bush more than VY. I dont know if he has Reggie's agility, he hasn't been playing competition to show if he does, but he has that acceleration and breakaway ability.

VY was nowhere near as quick as this kid.

Chiles at QB just wont work though, unless we wanna Tebow our offense and become the fags of the ncaa. I wouldn't mind him as a Ramonce Taylor type RB/WR combo. But no matter what happens, come game time, Greg Davis is still calling plays for the team so he will never reach true potential.

Chiles video HERE. (http://meanhorn.blogspot.com/2006/05/video-behold-john-chiles-other-texas.html) I saw an even better one on youtube earlier this season but I can't find it.

I guess I better clarify my venom for Jevan Snead for you, reydawg. When he committed and left Stephenville to enroll spring semester, I was convinced that he would be the Horns' solution at QB for a long time. Colt's a stud, don't get me wrong, but I couldn't believe that Jevan the All-American went head-to-head with Texas 2A MVP McCoy all spring and all preseason and couldn't beat him out for the job.

Now after two straight losses and Colt nicked up, Jevan announces that he's transferring. Maybe he's trying to help the program out by not having to waste the coaching staff's time and effort preparing him for duty in the bowl game. I don't know - I figure it's more noble to bust one's ass and try to beat out the incumbent using hard work and your All-America-caliber talent than to jump ship on a 9-3 team one year removed from a national championship.

I know there's more than enough blue-chip talent both incoming and already on the Forty Acres to cushion this blow, but it still irritates me. John David Booty graduated from high school an entire year early - in '02, right before Carson Palmer left - to enroll at SC and this is his first season starting. Why? Leinart beat him out, plain and simple. Now Booty's probably going to play for a national title in a little over a month. He could have transferred to Louisiana Tech or something and he didn't.

If the prospect of PT is more important than sacking up and contributing to your team in a time of need, then good riddance. Oh yeah, and I wouldn't suggest TCU for a prospective new school. Even with Ballard leaving, the Frogs still have Andy Dalton from Katy (Houston's HS player of the year in '05) rarin' to go next season.

Cant_Be_Faded

11-30-2006, 07:31 PM

j-6 brings an important (and probably most common) point of view, that ends up with the same conclusion as mine: good fucking riddance

i agree with you 100% but i take your first paragraph then apply that to the fact that he blew it against KState when our defense was giving him bad ass field position, and now i just hate his ass and am glad he is gone.

McCoy, Harris, Brantley, Chiles--we're set at QB. Good Riddance. In fact, this is probably a blessing in disguise cuz it encourages Chiles to honor his verbal commitment.

Bucky Richardson is like the Major Applewhite of College Station. Hardcore Ags would be less offended if you took a piss in the collie cemetery than calling out ol' Bucky.

I was a sophomore (I think) in high school when he had that awful game in the Cotton Bowl against Florida State. It's been a while, but seeing a #7 in maroon and white running the option in '06 sure reminded me of the guy that was doing it fifteen years ago.

yep, he stuck with his decision. i am sure when leinart announced he was returning after the 2004 season, he thought about the what ifs. now look where he is. meanwhile, rocky hinds transferred to unlv when he could have been the #1 qb during spring practice and challenged booty and sanchez during fall camp. mark sanchez, who everyone thinks will be alot better, is patiently waiting and learning just like booty did (he will have 2 years left after next season).

Supposed to be a real good guy to.
When I stayed in LA I was about 5 blocks from his high school. VERY small private school St Bernard is. Ahhh, the nights in mid Sep walking around the Berger and Veragua neighborhood for about 90min with a 6 pack of Pacifico and a hoody just shotting the shit with my bud.

Chiles video HERE. (http://meanhorn.blogspot.com/2006/05/video-behold-john-chiles-other-texas.html)

That kid does have some great wheels, but I don't know if he's not better off being a RB who can split out and really hurt defenses. If he can make plays without fumbling (unlike our current RBs), he should be very helpful in the near future. This is going to be interesting - I don't know much about Brantley, but if McCoy returns to his form of three weeks ago this could get interesting at QB. As long as Brantley doesn't turn into a Chris Simms remix UT should continue being dominant for some time. This season was going great up until just over two weeks ago with a freshman QB, fumbling RBs, and a banged up defense. It went to shit in a hurry, but all indications are this is just going to be an abberation of a year. Next year UT wins the Big XII and exerts domination over OU and AM once again.

12-01-2006, 10:36 PM

We should use Chiles as a RB/WR combo i said. Put him at RB and throw it to him right over the line, or put him in motion and cause defenses to shift to open other shit up.

The dude has the potential to be one of the greatest UT recruits of all time. He better honor his fucking verbal.

Former Texas Longhorns quarterback Jevan Snead will continue his career at Ole Miss, ESPN has learned.

Snead, who played in five games this season as a true freshman for UT, picked the Rebels over TCU and Houston.

"It's a great fit for me," Snead said. "I really like the coaches and the offense. Coming out of high school I really looked hard at SEC schools."

Snead said he'll report to Oxford around Jan. 15.

"I don't regret any of my time at Texas," Snead said. "I hope nothing but the best for Colt McCoy and the Longhorns. But I'm ready to follow my own dreams now."

The 6-foot-3, 215-pound Texan will have three seasons of eligibility beginning in the 2008 season. Snead had been looking for a program that had a rising senior quarterback and would be looking to find a replacement for the season Snead will become eligible. He visited the Rebels' campus in Oxford over the weekend.

ESPN.com ranked Snead as the nation's No. 3 QB prospect (13th overall) in the Class of 2006. He competed for the Longhorns' QB vacancy following the departure of Vince Young, but lost out to redshirt freshman McCoy.

I'm not going to say anything else negative about Snead at this point. It must seem more appealing for the guy to battle Mississippi State for fifth in the SEC West than to challenge some 2A QB from Tuscola for the starting job at the University of Texas.

Have fun in Oxford, where the women are hot and 3-9 is an accomplishment.

12-19-2006, 10:13 AM

^ I agree with ya J6 on the timing issue with Snead. Who knows? If he stays at UT and shows up big in the Alamo Bowl he could have had a shot a winning the starting QB job in the Spring, but now we'll never know. I think one major problem with big time HS recruits is that they get their ass kissed all through high school and then expect to just walk on a college team and have the starting QB job handed to them, doesn't work that way. So, have a good one Snead, you're going to have to do some amazing shit to even have a chance at a winning record at Ol' Miss.

LaMarcus Bryant

12-19-2006, 09:58 PM

that motherfucker not only blew his first chance at KState, he whined like a bitch earlier in the season for not getting enough playing time, then goes and quits on his team before the bowl season starts

this makes no sense

god damnit i swear this is unprecedented, someone, anyone: has a freshman top 5 recruit QB quit on his team before his freshman bowl season just because another redshirt freshman has been getting all the starts??

anyone???

someone???

anyone???

its fucking ridiculous, i only pray to god brantley and chiles aren't such superficial stinky pussy bitches

That mecos guzzling chickenhawk was already transfered in his mind, and didnt give a shit about actually preparing physically or mentally and totally collapsed in his only game for texas, then guzzled more vs aTm, then the little bitch couldnt keep his mouth shut about transferring and had to leave the team before the bowl game with a hurt starter and a walkon with zero career pass attempts. I would bet my Yamaha him and his family are conservative.

From the opinions of you UT fans on Snead, it looks like Ole Miss is the perfect place for him. He can follow in the footsteps of another giant Douchebag: Eli Manning

01-11-2007, 10:58 PM

Eli didn't do nearly as much @ Ole Miss as Peyton or with as much fanfare.
Def CAN'T confuse the 2 for being the same type of QB either. Jevan is a good QB but has damn good wheels........that is evidenced by the way he ran from a QB competition @ Fla & UT.

Hope he does better than Perriloux.

(?) ...last time i checked you only get 4 years of eligibility. is it possible Jevan doesn't want to waste any more? is it possible Jevan is not as good as McCoy, but he wants to play? is it possible Jevan is actually better than McCoy but needs a different system or coach? is it possible they have the same ability but McCoy started b/c he was a year older @ t.u.?
So far a decent post...

...it amazes me how some of you talk about your 'ex' player, someone who was celebrated coming in. is it a poor time to leave the team before the bowl? ...perhaps. its not like McCoy wasn't going to play, was that ever in doubt?...i don't think so. but, sure, he could have waited...however, i don't think it should define him.
Now its a lame post. JGW are you telling me that if your lame ass hillbilly mcgee quarterback had abandoned your team right before your bowl game, when he was a backup, and reggie mcneal had been seriously hurt, that none of you chigga rumming maniacal aggie fans would be pissed?

Give me a break dude
"Perhaps"??? Give me a fuckign break....your entire school would probably add a verse to your fight song, right before the chigga rum, to scoff the shit out of such a traitor. Give me a break. "perhaps" ???? He's a fucking cowardly traitor, typical hot named recruit who thinks he is entitled to shit without working for it. Plus, if he had been studiously working at greg davis' stupid game plan, theres no fucking way he would have blown it the way he did. Kstate doesn't even have a god damn defense...

Now its a lame post. JGW are you telling me that if your lame ass hillbilly mcgee quarterback had abandoned your team right before your bowl game, when he was a backup, and reggie mcneal had been seriously hurt, that none of you chigga rumming maniacal aggie fans would be pissed?

...i doubt Snead's intention was to hurt the team in any way. something must have happened...there is no way Jevan would just quit the team without talking to the coaches and whatnot. furthermore, i don't believe that McCoy not playing was ever in question and there are other QBs, albeit not good ones.

finally, i never said Snead should not have waited to leave the team. in fact, if you read my post i hint he should have. the main point of my post...is that the garbage ya'll are giving him is ridiculous.

I agree that maybe he realized he would never start ahead of Colt, but a competitor would want to get better, and fight for the starting job instead of giving up and running away like a little beatch

You are right, something must have happened, and I th ink its fairly obvious what did happen was that he pussed out to the challenge of earning the starting QB spot. He saw Colt on the verge of College Football Freshman History, and pussed out. Then he started telling 'close friends' that he planned on leaving, the information was leaked, and after his KState debacle, he had no choice but to transfer or he would have been ostracised by the entire team and his school friends.

He would have been a target for straight up ass beatings on campus. That is my theory and I think its the most plausible.
