Texas denies reports of QB transfer
Posted: Thursday November 30, 2006 8:19PM
AUSTIN (AP) -- No Texas players have been granted a release to transfer, a school official said Thursday amid conflicting reports that backup quarterback Jevan Snead would leave the team.
The Dallas Morning News, Austin American-Statesman and Houston Chronicle reported that Snead plans to transfer, possibly in time to enroll at a new school for the spring semester. Those stories cited anonymous sources.
But Snead told the Fort Worth Star-Telegram that he has not asked for a release from his scholarship and said "nothing's happening right now."
Texas spokesman John Bianco said no players had been granted a release as of Thursday afternoon and that conversations players may have had with coach Mack Brown are confidential.
Snead was unavailable for comment, and calls to his parents' home in Stephenville went unanswered Thursday.
Asked Wednesday night if a transfer was something he might consider, Snead told the Star-Telegram: "I don't know. I don't feel comfortable talking about that right now."
Snead was one of Texas' top recruits when he backed out of an oral commitment with Florida and signed with the Longhorns in February. He enrolled in time for spring practice but couldn't beat out redshirt freshman Colt McCoy for the starting job.
Snead completed 26 of 49 passes for 371 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions. His most extensive action came in a 45-42 loss at Kansas State. McCoy was hurt on the first drive, and Snead played the rest of the game.
McCoy has passed for 2,262 yards and a school-record 27 touchdowns and seven interceptions.
McCoy was injured again late in last week's 12-7 loss to Texas A&M, and his status for the Longhorns' bowl game is unclear. Texas appears headed to either the Gator Bowl or Alamo Bowl.

I won a math debate

Heh...
Snead leaving to me isn't the best move, with as Injury prone as McCoy is I would hang around, sooner or later he's gonna take one hard hit and Snead would get in. However, that being said, Snead didn't look so hot against K-State when he had is chance.

Texas backup QB Snead to transferPosted 12/1/2006 8:36 PM ET
AUSTIN (AP) ? Texas backup quarterback Jevan Snead will transfer, school officials announced Friday night, leaving the Longhorns with no experienced quarterback behind the injured Colt McCoy for their bowl game.
McCoy, who severely pinched a nerve in the final seconds of a 12-7 loss to Texas A&M, has not yet been cleared by team doctors for whichever bowl game selects Texas, although team trainer Kenny Boyd said Friday he is "progressing extremely well."
"Colt is a great quarterback, and I enjoyed working with him and all the guys on the team," Snead said in a statement released by the school. "Texas is a great place to be. I just think that for me to reach my goal of being a starting quarterback, I need to go somewhere else."
The statement did not say where Snead, a freshman, planned to attend.
Texas is likely headed to either the Gator or Alamo bowls. McCoy's backup for the bowl game would be senior walk-on Matt McCoy, no relation, who has never thrown a pass in a game.
Two of Texas' top receivers, Quan Cosby and Billy Pittman, were standout quarterbacks in high school. Cosby was a USA Today high school All-American at Mart in 2000 before signing a minor league baseball contract.
Texas also has freshman QB Sherrod Harris but has redshirted him this season.

McCoy has passed for 2,262 yards and a school-record 27 touchdowns and seven interceptions.
Also transferring are sophomore defensive end Chris Brown and sophomore offensive tackle Greg Dolan, both of whom have seen limited action at Texas.
"All three guys told us they had a great experience, but they felt their best opportunity for more playing time was to transfer," coach Mack Brown said.
"That's totally understandable, and we appreciate everything they did for our program during their time here. We wish all three the best of luck in the future."

I'm a "side" University of Houston fan, and I think that would be a GREAT place for him. Look at the success that Kevin Kolb has had there in his four years. They have a really great offensive passing system there, it would be such an excellent fit for someone like him who wants a passing orientated offense.
... BTW Houston won the Conference USA Championship tonight! Pretty awesome, their first conference title in over a decade! They're starting to revert back to their glory days when they were beating the crap out of UT and A&M in the '70s. I think they're here to stay and the thing I love most about the UH Football program is that they play legimate non-conference opponets every year. They never shy away from teams like Oklahoma, Miami, or anything like that. Always up for a challenge, gotta love teams that are willing for that!

Texas quarterback Sneed may transfer to Ole Miss
By Robbie Neiswanger
OXFORD ? Freshman quarterback Jevan Snead is transferring from Texas and one of his potential destinations is Ole Miss.
Chad Morris, who coached Snead at Stephenville (Texas) High, said members of the Rebels' coaching staff will visit the quarterback today. Snead, who played in eight games for the Longhorns as a backup in 2006, received his release from the school and is considering Ole Miss, Louisville or Texas Christian.
"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 and is going to come into a situation where the quarterbacks are going to give him an opportunity play. 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."
The 6-foot-3, 215-pound Snead was rated as the nation's sixth-best quarterback by Scout.com out of high school. But redshirt freshman Colt McCoy won the starting job at Texas in 2006, limiting Snead to 26 of 49 passes for 371 yards.
Ole Miss' quarterback Brent Schaeffer and backup Seth Adams will be seniors next season. The Rebels also have freshmen Cliff Davis and Michael Herrick.
Snead will have to sit out a year because of NCAA transfer rules, but would have three years of eligibility remaining. Morris said Snead won't rush his decision and probably won't announce where he'll transfer to until after Christmas.
"There's some possibilities out there, but Ole Miss has definitely keyed his interest because of the situation with Schaeffer and all the young kids that they're starting at the skill positions," Morris said.
