Rebel Quarterback Happenings

The Rebels gained a commitment from former University of Texas Longhorn quarterback Jevan Snead. Snead had pretty good numbers backing up Colt McCoy this year going 24 of 49 for 53% for 371 yards and 2 TD to 2 INTs. But even more reason to get excited is that Mr. Snead was an Army All American in 2005 to go with his four star rating and was a consensus top ten quarterback in the country that entertained offers from last years nation champion and one of the teams playing for this years national championship. His senior year he completed 60% of his passes for over 3,000 yards with 28 TDs to 9 INTs.

Snead will have to sit out the 2007 season due to NCAA transfer rules. Since he plans to enroll for next semester he will have a year and a half to prepare before he takes his first snap. The only downside to this is that if the team bombs out again in the 2007 season the "I'm In" crowd will clamour that Ogerzook should not be judged while Snead is sitting out the transfer period and thus Ogerzook should deserve to get a free pass for 2007.

In other potential quarterbacking news, current commit, and Army All American selection, Cannon Smith was arrested over the weekend for possession of ecstasy. At this point they are looking into whether or not to enhance the charges to a felony for intent to distribute. What we'll be interesting to follow out of this is whether or not Ogerzook follows the precedent he established by kicking Garry Pack of the team or if the sons of international shipping companies that have donated to create a new academic center will get special treatment.
