Jevan Snead, who enjoyed a memorable run as Ole Miss’ starting quarterback in 2008-09, died overnight in Austin, Texas, according to multiple reports. He was 32.

The Austin American Statesman reports that police are still investigating Snead’s death, though they do not initially suspect foul play. He had apparently been working in Austin recently.

A Parade All-American at Stephenville (Texas) High School, Snead signed with Texas in 2006 with designs on replacing Vince Young as Longhorns quarterback. However, he lost out to redshirt freshman Colt McCoy and left the program after one year and transferred to Ole Miss.

After sitting out the 2007 season, Snead won the Rebels’ starting quarterback job in 2008. He passed for 2,762 yards and 26 touchdowns that season, leading Ole Miss to a 9-4 record and a victory in the Cotton Bowl, along the way engineering a 31-30 victory over eventual national champion Florida.

Snead passed for 2,632 yards and 20 touchdowns — but also 20 interceptions — in 2009, with Ole Miss again going 9-4 and winnign the Cotton Bowl. He surprised many by forgoing his senior season to enter the 2010 NFL draft, but was not selected.

Snead signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneeers as an undrafted free agent, but was released without playing in a regular season game. He later tried to catch on with the Tampa Bay Storm of the Arena Football League.
